MMA Renewable Ventures (MMA) has partnered with developers and landowners Ormand and Jeff Hilderbrand to help manage and accelerate all aspects of the project development.

Upon scheduled completion in 2009, the PaTu wind farm is expected to produce 30,000MWh of energy annually, enough clean electricity to power 3,000 homes each year.

The PaTu wind farm is the first wind project to join MMA’s portfolio of more than 35 clean energy generation facilities across the US. Within the wind market, MMA is focused on delivering turnkey financing and project management services that facilitate community ownership of wind projects.

Matt Cheney, CEO of MMA Renewable Ventures, said: Our entry into the wind market extends our proven financial capabilities, operational expertise and innovative approach to an entirely new group of renewable energy partners and customers.
