Goldwind acquires 2 wind farms in US

Goldwind, a leading Chinese wind turbine maker, Friday said it has acquired two 10-megawatt wind farms from Volkswind USA.

The wind farms, known as the Musselshell Project, are based in Shawmut, Montana.

Volkswind USA, the developer of the project, has obtained all the necessary permits for construction and secured power purchase and interconnection agreements with NorthWestern Energy, said Jeffrey Wagner, president of Volkswind USA.

The terms of the deal between Chicago-based Goldwind USA and Volkswind USA were not disclosed.

This project marks Goldwind's third acquisition in the US, following a project in Pipestone, Minnesota, and the 109.5MW Shady Oaks project in Lee County, Illinois.
