Pattern Energy completes acquisition of two wind-power facilities totaling 351 MW

By Michelle Froese | May 18, 2015

The acquisition of two new wind farms expands Pattern Energy’s operations into Kansas and Missouri.

Pattern Energy Group has closed the previously announced acquisition of two operational wind power facilities totaling 351 megawatts (MW) from Wind Capital Group (WCG) and its affiliates for a final purchase price of $242 million plus assumed net debt of $102 million.

The acquisition includes ownership interests in the 201-MW Post Rock Wind facility in Kansas and the 150-MW Lost Creek Wind facility in Missouri. Pattern Energy expects to maintain a total combined owned interest of 270 MW in these two facilities.

Post Rock Wind and Lost Creek Wind, which have been operational for an average of approximately four years, are fully contracted under power purchase agreements with highly credit-worthy counter-parties.

The Post Rock Wind facility in Kansas has a long-term contract with Westar, which has a BBB+ credit rating. The Lost Creek Wind facility in Missouri has a long-term contract with Associated Electric Cooperative Incorporated, which has an AA credit rating.  The average remaining life of the contracts is 16 years.

The acquisition of these two facilities expands Pattern Energy’s operations into two new U.S. states, Kansas and Missouri.
