Vancouver renewable energy company Alterra Power Corp (TSX: AXY) has agreed to share ownership of the 200 megawatt Flat Top wind project with BlackRock Real Assets, an affiliate of U.S. investment manager Blackrock Inc. BlackRock Real Assets acquired a 49 percent sponsor-partner interest in the project. No financial terms were released. Alterra acquired the central Texas asset in 2016, placing a US$1.6 million security deposit with the local transmission provider. The company is undertaking construction of the project, which is expected to be in operation by the first half of 2018.
