The company has also closed the funding under its tax equity financing for the project.
Leeward procured the wind turbine equipment from GE Renewable Energy, and Citi provided tax equity financing of US$162.9m (€131.62m).
Mountain Breeze is comprised of 62 GE Renewable Energy onshore wind turbines.
Leeward designed and constructed the greenfield project from the ground up and will own and operate the wind farm in the long-term.
Mountain Breeze sells its output to Xcel Energy – Colorado under a long-term PPA.
Leeward also supplies renewable energy to Xcel Energy – Colorado from its nearby Cedar Creek Wind project in Weld County, and to Xcel Energy – Southwest from its Caprock Wind project in Quay County, New Mexico.
