FERC clears Ameren Missouri purchase of 299-MW wind farm

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission signed off on Ameren Missouri's proposed acquisition of the 299-MW Outlaw wind project from Invenergy LLC.

The utility, legally known as Union Electric Co., would acquire the project in Atchison County, Mo., from Invenergy Renewables LLC when construction of the wind farm is complete, according to an Oct. 2 FERC filing. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Ameren Missouri received approval for construction of the project from the Missouri Public Service Commission on Aug. 15.

Prior to the deal with Ameren Missouri, Invenergy in a separate transaction will acquire Outlaw Wind from Enel SpA subsidiary Enel Kansas LLC. Invenergy's deal with Enel is expected to close in the fourth quarter.

Outlaw Wind, which will operate in the Southwest Power Pool market, will come online by December 2020. Ameren Missouri is a subsidiary of Ameren Corp.

The transactions are expected to be completed in 2020. (FERC docket EC 19-122)
