The PPA for Conejo is a near mirror of the arrangement for Pattern’s 115MW El Arrayán wind farm, completed in Chile earlier this year. In both cases Minera Los Pelambres, a copper mining affiliate of Antofagasta Minerals, will buy 70% of the power output over the next few decades, with the remainder sold onto the spot market.
Conejo was developed and is 100% owned by Pattern Development -- the parent company of San Francisco-based Pattern Energy, the yieldco listed last year in the US and Canada.
