NextEra Wind Wing Raises $78M

Peace Garden Wind Funding LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources LLC, has raised $78 million in funds through a five-year variable term-loan agreement. The company plans to use the proceeds to reimburse, in part, capital contributions made to build wind facilities.

NextEra Energy Resources LLC is a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Inc. (FPL). Peace Garden Wind consists of approximately 170 megawatts of wind energy projects in North Dakota.

Last month, Peace Garden Wind Funding raised approximately $190 million in capital through a differential partnership structure. The combination of this financing and the differential partnership transaction has resulted in the return of a significant portion of the capital invested in the Peace Garden Wind projects, which can now be redeployed for future growth.
