The 201MW Heartland Farms Wind project in Michigan, US, is producing clean energy for Michigan homes and businesses, utility Consumers Energy has announced.
The company’s fifth wind project features 72 turbines.
Invenergy developed and built the site, and Consumers Energy took ownership upon its completion.
Consumers Energy’s vice president of clean energy development David Hicks said: “Consumers Energy is starting the new year by continuing to develop clean energy projects that help us protect the planet.
“With our final coal plants scheduled to close next year, Heartland Farms Wind continues our work to fulfill our Clean Energy Plan and develop the next generation of energy for Michigan.”
Invenergy’s vice president of development Erin Kricher added: “Invenergy is proud to complete another clean energy project that supports Consumers Energy’s Clean Energy Plan.
“Heartland Farms builds on our successful track record of working with landowners and communities across the state to invest in the clean energy economy through projects that produce reliable power in Michigan.”
A team of 15 Consumers Energy workers will operate Heartland Farms Wind from the Gratiot Wind service center in Middleton, Michigan.
