San Diego’s clean energy firm, EDF Renewable Services, has entered into a contract with ALLETE Clean Energy (ACE) to provide remote monitoring and turbine resets for five of its wind projects.
The projects include Condon in Oregon; Storm Lake I and Storm Lake II in Iowa; Lake Benton I in Minnesota; and Armenia Mountain in Pennsylvania. EDF Renewable Services already provides full service operations and maintenance to Chanarambie and Viking in Minnesota, for a total of 534 megawatts comprised of GE, Mitsubishi, and Zond wind turbines.
Under the terms of the agreement, EDF Renewable Services will provide remote services performed by the company’s Operations Control Center.
“As ALLETE Clean Energy continues to grow our portfolio of operating wind assets, we have been pleased to expand our relationship with EDF Renewable Services,” said Dave Leveille, director of operations at ACE, in a statement. “This relationship has provided us with access to extensive real-time operational experience and expertise while allowing ACE to focus on our core strengths in operations and maintenance.”
