enXco Service Corporation (eSC), an EDF Energies Nouvelles Company, has signed a multi-year Operation and Maintenance Agreement with Ridgeline Energy, LLC to provide operations and maintenance services for the 79.86 megawatt Rockland Wind Farm.
Rockland Wind Farm, located near American Falls in Power County, Idaho, is a joint development venture between Ridgeline Energy and Diamond Generating Corporation. Consisting of 44 Vestas V100 - 1.815 MW turbines, the project will generate clean energy for approximately 37,000 homes when it becomes fully operational later this month. Idaho Power will purchase the power under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
Under the terms of the O&M Agreement, eSC will provide complete O&M for the balance of plant, project oversight, and 24/7 remote monitoring from its NERC compliant Operations Control Center. Previously, eSC's Special Services Team provided support during the construction and commissioning of the project under a short-term service agreement.
"We are pleased to be selected by Ridgeline Energy to provide long-term O&M for their wind energy facility," said Dave Luck, Director of Business Development for enXco Service Corporation. "We are especially proud to be able to demonstrate our extensive experience and resources during construction and commissioning, and look forward to contributing to the long-term success of the project. eSC looks forward to working with Ridgeline on future wind and solar projects."

"The knowledge and experience of the enXco group will ensure that our goals of operating and maintaining world class renewable energy facilities are met far into the future."
