With these new contracts, Longroad’s managed portfolio has grown from 0 to 1.9 GW in two years and now consists of nine wind projects and over 400 solar projects.
“Longroad is pleased to expand our strong relationship with DIF to now include four large wind projects totaling nearly 700 MW of generation capacity in Idaho and Oklahoma. We are driven to achieve and exceed DIF’s expected investment returns by bringing our experienced asset management, operations and technical teams to bear on these projects. Our track record and experience in managing complex renewable energy assets appealed to DIF and we are proud to add IWP to our growing portfolio of managed wind and solar assets,” said Michael Alvarez, COO of Longroad.
