AEP Renewables completes acquisition of Desert Sky and Trent Mesa wind projects in Texas

American Electric Power has completed the purchase of Invenergy's 20.1% interest in the Desert Sky and Trent Mesa wind facilities in Texas, USA. AEP Renewables and Invenergy have jointly owned the facilities since 2018. The terms of the transaction are not being disclosed for competitive reasons.

AEP Renewables now owns the full capacity of the 170 MW Desert Sky facility located near Iraan, Texas, and the 156 MW Trent Mesa facility, located between Abilene and Sweetwater in west Texas. Both facilities were built in the early 2000s and repowered in 2018.
