Wells Fargo’s Renewable Energy and Environmental Finance unit has completed $70m in tax-equity funding for the Pacific Plains wind projects, including facilities in Indiana, Nebraska, and California in the US.
The latest development comes after Wells Fargo announced $200bn financing last week through 2030 to sustainable businesses and products.
Renewable-energy power company NextEra Energy developed and built the Pacific Plains wind projects and also operates and manages the new facilities.
The 120-megawatt (MW) Bluff Point wind facility in Jay and Randolph Counties, Indiana; the 90-MW Cottonwood wind facility in Webster County, Nebraska; and the 46-MW Golden Hills North wind facility in Livermore, California supply power to local utilities.
Over the past ten years, Wells Fargo has partnered with NextEra Energy on 14 wind projects throughout the country.
Together, the projects will generate more than five million megawatt-hours (MWh) of clean energy annually.
