JERA Subsidiary Acquires El Sauz Wind Project from Apex Clean Energy

“We are extremely proud that our first investment in renewable energy in the US is right here in Texas where we have our American headquarters,” said Steven Winn, CEO of JERA Americas. “We are looking to accelerate the transformation of our energy supply to more sustainable forms of energy and this project marks the beginning of what we plan to be a substantial and growing commitment to renewables in this state and across the country. We like the Texas market for the way it supports cleaner energy and we plan to be here for the long term.”

The Project will consist of 67 Nordex Group wind turbines each capable of generating 4.5 MW of electricity, which at full output could power approximately 240,000 homes. Wanzek Construction, Inc. will serve as the balance of plant contractor for the project.

“El Sauz Wind represents a significant milestone—not only for JERA Americas, as its first US renewable energy investment, but also for the community, which will benefit from the significant local investment associated with construction of the project,” said Mark Goodwin, President and CEO of Apex Clean Energy.
