Apex Clean Energy to Operate Fourth IKEA Group Wind Farm
July 31, 2107
Apex Clean Energy has signed a multiyear contract to operate an IKEA Canada wind project, Oldman 2, located near Pincher Creek in Alberta. Oldman 2 generates 46 megawatts of clean energy for the AESO market.
With this new contract, Apex now manages four IKEA Group wind energy facilities across North America.
In January 2017, Apex began managing IKEA Canada’s 88 MW Wintering Hills wind facility in Alberta, Canada.
The Oldman 2 facility is the twelfth project in Apex’s Asset Management fleet, bringing total clean energy under management to over 1,750 MW. Apex will provide both remote asset management and on-site facility management for Oldman 2.
“Apex’s Remote Operations Control Center collects and processes an average of 432 million data points per day,” says Andrea Miller, Apex’s vice president of Asset Management. “It’s this data-driven approach to asset management that is responsible for delivering peak performance and peak confidence to partners like IKEA.”
The Oldman 2 wind project consists of 20 Siemens 2.3 MW turbines.
