Wind powers web giant

Pattern Energy Group has signed a 13-year agreement to sell power generated from the 150MW Fowler Ridge 4 wind farm in Indiana, to Amazon Web Services. Construction of the wind farm, renamed Amazon Web Services Wind Farm (Fowler Ridge), will begin in April 2015. When commissioned, by late 2015 or early 2016, the project will generate around 500,000MWh of energy per year.

Pattern Energy announced the addition of 120MW of owned interest in the project to its list of identified right of first offer (ROFO) projects from Pattern Development. Pattern Energy president and CEO Mike Garland said: “Pattern Energy is providing wind power to America’s top corporations and looks forward to working with Amazon Web Services upon the acquisition of this exciting

new project, which has been added to our growing ROFO list.

“In the past 18 months we have acquired four projects from Pattern Development with an aggregate owned capacity of 557MW and have also added an additional five projects, including Amazon Web Services Wind Farm (Fowler Ridge), to the ROFO list with an aggregate capacity of 553MW.”
