Capital Power said it will supply 87% of the electricity from New Frontier to an investment grade US financial institution under a 12-year deal.
Capital Power president and chief executive Brian Vaasjo said: “Utilising our in-house construction capabilities, the construction of New Frontier wind was completed in eight months and is another successful renewable development project in the US.”
“With everything in place and completion below budget, New Frontier wind is set to exceed our original return expectations.”
