History
Zilkha Renewable Energy was established by Selim Zilkha and Michael Zilkha and subsequently acquired by investment bank Goldman Sachs in 2005, at which point it was renamed Horizon Wind Energy. Two years later, in 2007, it was sold to Energias de Portugal for $2.15 billion and eventually rebranded as EDP Renewables North America.
