The seven wind energy projects, totaling more than 750 megawatts (MW), enough to power more than 190,000 homes per year, are located across five states in the Midwest, including three in Illinois, located in Woodford and Stephenson Counties. The four additional projects are located in the following Counties: Manitowoc, Wisconsin; Brookings, South Dakota; Pocahontas, Iowa; and Logan, Ohio. The Logan project was acquired from Gamesa, while the remaining six projects were acquired from Navitas.

"These future wind farms are ideal additions to Babcock and Brown's near-term development pipeline because they are located in markets in which we are focused, and they are also located near areas where we have existing wind farms," said Hunter Armistead, head of Babcock and Brown's North American Energy Development Group. "We look forward to developing these projects and bringing them online in the near future, further adding to the production of clean and renewable wind energy in the Midwest."

In the United States, Babcock and Brown currently operates 20 wind farms across nine states, 19 on behalf of Babcock and Brown Wind Partners, totaling more than 1500 MW of installed capacity, and has more than 18 additional wind farms under development across the country. In the Midwest, Babcock and Brown owns operational wind farms in Lee County, IL, and Bureau County, IL.
