The 180-MW Armow Wind facility was constructed of local products, including 91 Ontario-made towers and 273 blades for the Siemens’ 2.3-MW turbines.

Located in Kincardine, Ontario, Armow Wind consists of 91 Siemens’ 2.3-MW turbines and is jointly owned by Pattern Energy and Samsung Renewable Energy, Inc. The facility reached commercial operation in December 2015, and operates under a 20-year power purchase agreement with the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) in Ontario.

Pattern Energy acquired the interest in Armow Wind from Pattern Energy Group LP (“Pattern Development”) for a total cash consideration of approximately U.S.$133 million, representing a 9.5 to 10.5 times multiple on the five-year average annual cash available for distribution (CAFD)1 contribution from the project.

The purchase price was funded from cash available and draws under the Company’s revolving credit facility on October 17, 2016. Subsequent to the transaction, $308 million remains available under the revolving credit facility.

“The acquisition of Armow Wind is immediately accretive, providing us with increased cash flow and growing the portfolio to 2.6 GW of owned capacity,” said Mike Garland, President and CEO of Pattern Energy. “With an identified ROFO list of 942-MW of wind and solar projects – and a right of first offer on Pattern Development’s pipeline of 5,900 MW of development projects – we are confident in expanding our growth outlook to achieve our 5,000 MW target by the end of 2019.”
