Each windfarm has between four and 22 turbines, with a total of 52 Enercon turbines and ten Nordex turbines.

"The seven windfarms are expected to generate 169,400MW hours of clean electricity per annum."

The acquisition is partly funded with the proceeds of a C$50m (€34.4m) private placement of common shares.

Subject to regulatory authorisations and other customary closing conditions, the acquisition of the project under construction is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2017.

The acquisition of the eight windfarms will increase the company’s gross installed capacity from 1,232MW to 1,319MW, and gross capacity under development from 297MW to 341MW.

In February, Innergex acquired Walden North hydroelectric facility in British Columbia, Canada.

The 16MW Walden North facility will join Innergex’s portfolio of 28 hydroelectric operating facilities.
