Under the terms of the agreement, Wolverine Power Supply will buy the wind power generated from the Deerfield Wind Energy project, which is located in Huron County, Michigan, the US.
Located on approximately 20,000 acres in the townships of Huron, Bloomfield, Dwight, and Lincoln, the project will provide up to 200 jobs during the peak of construction and up to six permanent jobs once construction is completed.
The Deerfield Wind Energy project is planned to be commissioned by 31 December 2016.
RES Americas chief executive officer Glen Davis said: "Wolverine’s commitment to purchase the Deerfield Wind Energy project’s electrical output will bring investment and jobs to the state and local community that have supported us through the development cycle."
Wolverine president and CEO Eric Baker said: "This PPA not only positions Wolverine and its members to meet Michigan’s Renewable Portfolio Standard requirement of 10 percent renewable power supply by 2015, it also further diversifies Wolverine’s overall energy portfolio."
