Over the last year, Element Power built a North American portfolio of nearly 4GW of wind and solar assets, covering more than 25 states in the US. In addition, the company has a portfolio of operating and development-stage wind and solar assets located across Europe and South America.

The acquisition of the recent projects is expected to augment Element Power’s greenfield development efforts.

Shawn Gaffney, president of EcoEnergy, said: “Element Power clearly has a uniquely qualified and highly experienced world-class team. They are committed to the business and have demonstrated repeatedly the ability to take projects from development and into profitable operation.”

Ty Daul, CEO of Element Power North America, said: “2009 was a stellar year for Element Power’s north American business. Not only did we build an unparalleled set of clean energy development opportunities for 2010 and beyond, but we also assembled an industry leading management team with a history of seeing through quality renewable energy projects from conception to completion.”
