EDF’s renewable arm has bought a wind power developer in the US.
It now owns 100% of OwnEnergy’s assets, which includes its pipeline of future wind projects.
The US company currently has eight wind energy projects either in the construction or operating phase. They have a total capacity of 329MW.
Tristan Grimbert, CEO and President of EDF Renewable Energy said: “OwnEnergy’s business model taps into the entrepreneurial spirit of farmers, ranchers and other community leaders across the country with a focus on the mid-size market of off-takers. Their community partner approach will continue under the EDF Renewable Energy brand.”
EDF has so far developed 6GW of wind, solar, biomass and storage projects in North America.
