EDF Renewable Energy has sold BlackRock’s Infrastructure Investment Group a 50% interest in the 194MW Spinning Spur 3 wind farm in Texas.
The deal is the third of five signed between BlackRock and EDF to close.
The remaining projects, Roosevelt (250 MW) and Milo (49.65 MW) wind projects, will close upon completion of construction and tax-equity financing.
Spinning Spur 3, which is located 50 miles west of Amarillo in Oldham County, has been fully operational since 2015.
It comprises 97 Vestas V-100 2 MW wind turbines.
The electricity generated feeds into the CREZ (Competitive Renewable Energy Zone) transmission infrastructure and is provided to two municipal utilities, Georgetown Utility Systems and Garland Power & Light, under long-term power purchase agreements.
EDF will provide balance-of-plant operations and maintenance for the facility including 24/7 remote monitoring from its NERC compliant Operations Control Center (OCC).
