Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), on behalf of its Copenhagen Infrastructure IV (CI IV) fund, says power from its Buffalo Plains wind project was delivered to the Alberta grid for the first time.
The first turbine on Buffalo Plains was installed in April, with a third of the project’s wind turbines in place. Completion of the remaining installation work is expected in the fourth quarter, followed by full grid connection.
Once fully operational, Buffalo Plains will consist of 83 turbines with a total capacity of 495 MW. The project is being delivered in collaboration with Siemens Gamesa and Borea Construction.
“We are very pleased to have reached this important project milestone on Buffalo Plains,” says Tim Evans, partner and head of North America at CIP. “The successful delivery of first power demonstrates CIP’s unique ability to execute on large and complex infrastructure projects that will provide local jobs and clean, renewable wind energy for many years to come.”
