"International Power is the ideal partner to advance this portfolio of wind projects," said Angela Schwarz, President and COO of Element Markets. "Element Markets also gains the opportunity to expand other areas of our business with one of the largest and most respected power companies in the world."

Under the terms of the agreement, Element Markets will transfer three key wind farm development personnel to International Power who will subsequently develop and operate the wind power projects. Element Markets will continue the development of its remaining wind pipeline. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
