Capacity under co-development agreement increased to 52.5MW
Kedco plc, (AIM:KED) the renewable energy group focusing on the production of clean energy in the UK and Ireland, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary Reforce Energy Limited ("Reforce") has expanded the capacity and number of windfarm projects under the co-development agreement that was announced on 21 January 2013.
The capacity of the three windfarms in the North West of Ireland, which formed part of the original co-development agreement, has now increased from 30MW (as previously announced) to 40MW. Work has already commenced on the planning application for these three projects and it is intended that they will be submitted to the planning authorities in Q3 2013.
In addition to this, a fourth project in the same region of Ireland has been added to the co-development agreement. This project will have an expected capacity of 12.5MW, bringing the total capacity under development through the agreement to 52.5MW. A planning application for this project is also expected to be submitted in Q3 2013.
The parties also continue to assess and review a number of additional new sites, which will form part of the agreement, should they meet Kedco's site selection criteria.
Gerry Madden, CEO of Kedco, commented: "With this increase in capacity and addition of a new site the Company has successfully reached its minimum target for 2013 of doubling its development portfolio to 140MW, and the Board is pleased to have achieved this well in advance of the year end."
