The multi-year linkup calls for Apex to provide both remote asset management and on-site management services for the Oldman 2 wind park in Alberta, Canada.

“Apex is proud to partner once again with IKEA, a true leader in the corporate marketplace,” said Apex Clean Energy President and CEO Mark Goodwin in a written statement.

“Sustainability-focused companies, like IKEA, are to thank for propelling the wind industry forward and accelerating the shift to clean energy,” Goodwin said.

In 2014, IKEA US purchased two wind farms from Apex: the 165 MW Cameron Wind facility in Cameron County, Texas; and the 98 MW Hoopeston Wind facility in Hoopeston, Illinois. Apex operates and manages both facilities.

In January 2017, Apex began managing IKEA Canada’s 88 MW Wintering Hills wind facility in Alberta, Canada.

The Oldman 2 facility is the twelfth project in Apex’s asset management fleet, bringing total clean energy under management to over 1,750 MW. Apex will provide both remote asset management and on-site facility management for Oldman 2.

The Oldman 2 wind project consists of 20 Siemens 2.3 MW turbines.
