The Quinbrook Low Carbon Power Fund has been awarded a new long term lease to repower the Gonzaga Ridge Wind Farm, located in Pacheco State Park in central California, USA.
The project rights were won and the lease was secured by Scout Clean Energy, a Colorado-based developer and operator of US wind power projects and a Quinbrook portfolio company. The lease awards Scout the exclusive right to build, own and operate a new wind farm project at the Gonzaga site, a investment project that is projected to increase the production capacity of the wind farm from 16.5MW to an expected 65-80MW. Scout plans to replace the existing 1980s wind turbines with the latest modern turbine technology that is expected to increase renewable power output as much as sevenfold.
