The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has approved EDP Renewables North America's sale of 80% class A managing interests in two wind farms to a fund managed by Axium Infrastructure US Inc.

The fund will purchase the stake in the 200-MW Meadow Lake VI project in White and Benton counties, Ind., and the 200-MW Prairie Queen project in Allen County, Kan., according to federal regulatory filings.

Meadow Lake VI was expected to reach commercial operation in November. It will sell a portion of its output to Wabash Valley Power Association Inc. under a 20-year power contract, while the remaining output will be sold at wholesale to one or more unaffiliated third parties. Prairie Queen is expected to reach commercial operation in April 2019 and sell its output to Evergy Inc. under a long-term agreement. (FERC docket EC19-21)
