The Lakefield Wind Project, located in Jackson County Minnesota, is fully operational and supplies carbon-free electricity into the MISO transmission system under a 20-year power purchase agreement with Indianapolis Power & Light. Lakefield commenced operation in 2011 and consists of 137 General Electric 1.5 megawatt wind turbines with the capacity to generate 205.5 megawatts of renewable energy for more than 68,000 homes.
EDF Renewable Services, formerly enXco Service Corporation, will continue to provide operations and maintenance services. Marubeni will participate in asset management roles working with EDF Renewable Energy in the administration of the project.
“As an integrated operator we take a balanced approach to our project portfolio and this agreement provides an opportunity to further our ambition as a world-class renewable project developer” said Tristan Grimbert, President and CEO.
