E.ON secures $122m financing for US wind farm

EBR Staff Writer Published 07 February 2012

E.ON Climate & Renewables North America (EC&RNA) has secured $122.2m of institutional equity financing for its recently completed Settlers Trail wind farm in the US state of Illinois.

The financing has been obtained from JPM Capital and Wells Fargo Wind Holdings in exchange for a partial interest in the wind farm.

The project located in Iroquois County consists of 94 units of GE 1.6MW turbines.

The facility generates around 150MW of power, enough to provide clean power to more than 45,000 households in the central Illinois region using North American made turbines, blades and towers.

EC&RNA CEO Steve Trenholm said wind farms generate clean, affordable, homegrown electricity, creating jobs, providing an economic shot in the arm to farmers, ranchers, and rural communities across America.
