Scout, Constellation sign PPA for 130 MW Bitter Ridge wind project US

Scout Clean Energy has signed a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) deal with Constellation, an Exelon company, for the long-term purchase of approximately 80% of the renewable energy and capacity generated by the 130 MW Bitter Ridge Wind Farm in Jay County, Indiana.

In September 2018, Scout received final local approvals for the Bitter Ridge Wind Farm to proceed to construction. The project will have installed capacity of 130 megawatts (MW) and will utilize up to 52 wind turbines to be located on approximately 10,000 acres in Jay County. Scout has signed firm purchase orders for the supply of 52 of the GE 2.82 series wind turbines and has entered into a balance of plant construction services agreement with Mortenson.

The Bitter Ridge project is expected to begin construction later this year with an anticipated in-service date of September 2020. Bitter Ridge is being developed and will be owned and operated by Scout Clean Energy. Scout is a portfolio company of Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners, a leading private equity infrastructure fund.
