Apex Clean Energy buys 360 MW wind project

Apex Clean Energy has acquired the Novus IV wind energy project from Novus Windpower, LLC, headquartered in Guymon, Oklahoma.

The project, which is located in Hansford County and Sherman County, Texas, in the north Texas Panhandle, has the potential to bring 360 MW of wind energy into the Southwest Power Pool market and could begin construction as early as 2017.

Mark Goodwin, president of Apex, said:

“Novus IV is an excellent project in a strategic location. The Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle region has some of the best wind in the country, and we are pleased to be partnering with Novus Windpower to bring this project through construction and into operations.”

Soren Nielsen, co-founder of Novus Windpower said:

“We are pleased to have concluded this transaction with Apex, which has an excellent track record for developing and completing projects in the Texas/Oklahoma Panhandles. We have always enjoyed strong local support in our development area, and we are excited to be working with Apex to bring this large wind energy project online as well.”
