SAN DIEGO & DES MOINES, Iowa–(BUSINESS WIRE)–EDF
Renewables North America today announced they have closed on an
Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) whereby MidAmerican
Energy Company has purchased the development assets associated with
the Ivester Wind Project. The proposed 91-megawatt (MW) wind project
encompasses nearly 7,000 acres of land in Grundy County, approximately
85 miles northeast of Des Moines, Iowa.

Kate O’Hair, vice president of development for EDF Renewables’ North
Region, stated, “We are pleased to once again work with MidAmerican
Energy to assist them in meeting their renewable energy goals. This
opportunity expands on our long-term business relationship, having
partnered on 771 MW of wind facilities in Iowa.”

The transaction contributes to MidAmerican Energy’s 2,000 MW Wind XI
project, first announced in April 2016. By year-end 2020, the company
expects annual renewable energy generation to reach a level that’s
equivalent to more than 90% of annual retail customer usage.

O’Hair further added, “The development of renewable energy is a
critically important task for the nation and for local rural
communities. We applaud MidAmerican Energy for their vision and
commitment to construct additional wind energy generation and allow
economic and environmental benefits to preserve the rural Iowa
lifestyle.”
