Greengate Power Corp., an independent renewables developer based in Alberta, has secured a C$100m ($78m) equity commitment from private-equity firm Fengate Real Asset Investments that will allow it to advance its 1GW project portfolio in the Canadian province.

Calgary-based Greengate has been the initial developer behind several of the largest wind farms operating in Alberta today, including the 300MW Blackspring Ridge wind farm – now owned by Enbridge and EDF.
