PEAK Wind has been contracted to deliver the Operations and Asset Management of Buffalo Plains Wind Farm beginning 1st October 2024.

The Asset Management Agreement (AMA) will provide full-scope management on behalf of the owners, including HSE, finance, commercial, operational and balance of plant management – all with a focus to ensure the project is a best-in-class operating asset for all stakeholders.

Buffalo Plains Wind Farm, located in Alberta, boasts a 494 MW capacity and spans over 17500 acres with 83 turbines (a combination of SGRE 5.2MW & 6.6MW platforms), enough to supply a city of more than 240,000 homes with clean energy. Currently under construction, it will be a cornerstone in Canada’s renewable energy sector and an important part of the country’s clean energy strategy.

Construction began on the project, owned by Copenhagen Infrastructure IV (CI IV), a fund managed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, last year. The project started delivering power in August 2024.

Buffalo Plains is the latest addition to PEAK Wind’s fast-growing global portfolio, consisting of 2.1GW of wind assets under management – with around 700MW in North America, 500MW in Europe and 900MW of offshore wind in Taiwan, reflecting the capabilities in managing large-scale renewable energy projects. 

Denis Nørnberg Andersen, Co-Founder and Head of Asset Management at PEAK Wind, stated, “Buffalo Plains is a flagship project in Canada’s renewable energy landscape, and we are proud to take on its management. Our focus will be on ensuring its continued success by maximizing operational efficiency, boosting performance, and delivering strong, reliable results for our partners and stakeholders. This project is a testament to our capabilities and reinforces our growth in North America.”
