NRG Energy Inc plans to acquire South Trent wind farm, Texas


Power generation supplier NRG Energy Inc (NYSE: NRG) declared on Thursday that the company has entered into a binding letter of intent to purchase the South Trent wind farm near Sweetwater, Texas, for an undisclosed price.

This 101 megawatt (MW) South Trent wind farm came online in January 2009 and consists of 44 Siemens 2.3 MW wind turbines capable, at maximum capacity, of powering more than 80,000 homes.

AEP Energy Partners Inc has a 20-year power purchase agreement for all of the generation from this site.

Following completion of the acquisition, South Trent will become the fourth plant in NRG Energy’s onshore wind portfolio and would bring the company’s wind portfolio to approximately 450 MW.
