Acciona announced it has acquired exclusive rights to develop 1300MW worth of wind assets in the states of Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin, USA.
The development will take place through an acquisition of projects from EcoEnergy, LLC, an alternative energy solutions developer and a unit of The Morse Group. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Acciona expects to install approximately 150MW or more in 2008 from this pipeline. Acciona will be supplying its own wind turbines for each of these development projects from its new US production facility in Iowa.
