Allete Clean Energy has acquired the Caddo wind project in Caddo County in southern Oklahoma from Apex Clean Energy, including plans to sell energy to three Fortune 500 corporate customers.
The Caddo wind project is expected to be operational by the end of 2021, and will use a portion of Allete Clean Energy’s wind turbines that qualify for the safe harbor provision of federal renewable energy production tax credits. Allete Clean Energy retains safe harbor turbines and is exploring additional opportunities to put more of them to use for customers. Caddo’s approximately 60-110 turbines will increase Allete Clean Energy’s total installed wind capacity to more than 1,300MW
