Evergy and a partnership between Scout Clean Energy and Elawan Energy have announced that Evergy will purchase the 199MW Persimmon Creek Wind Farm in western Oklahoma for a purchase price of about US$ 250 million.
The renewable energy from this wind farm will serve customers in the Evergy Missouri West service area. Persimmon Creek Wind Farm achieved commercial operation in 2018 with 80 General Electric turbines across 17,000 acres in Dewey, Ellis and Woodward counties in Oklahoma. The acquisition of Persimmon Creek Wind Farm, which is expected to close by early 2023, remains subject to closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
