Apex Clean Energy sells 500 MW wind farm in USA

Apex Clean Energy has sold the White Mesa Wind Farm, located in Crockett County, Texas, to an unnamed buyer. When complete, the 500 MW White Mesa project will be the third-largest single-phase, single-site wind farm in the United States, following the largest—the 525 MW Aviator Wind, also developed by Apex and located in West Texas.

The deal includes a number of power purchase agreements that Apex negotiated with corporate customers. The project has the agreements signed with Baker Hughes, Applied Materials, Apple, eBay, Samsung Austin Semiconductor LLC and Sprint.

Mark Goodwin, president and CEO of Apex Clean Energy, said: “White Mesa Wind illustrates the continued and robust demand for renewable energy projects with strong attributes, including a remarkable wind resource and negotiated offtake agreements. Apex is pleased to bring this project to fruition, deliver the myriad benefits of clean power to these corporate customers, and support and strengthen the Lone Star State.”

White Mesa Wind is expected to complete development this year and enter commercial operations in 2021.
