NJR Clean Energy Ventures has completed the 48.3MW Alexander wind farm in Rush County, Kansas.
The $83m project, approximately 120 miles northwest of Wichita, consists of 21 turbines.
NJRCEV expects the wind farm to qualify for federal production tax credits, which are based on kilowatt-hour output.
All PTCs generated by the Alexander facility will be retained by NJR.
The electricity generated by the wind farm will be sold under two long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs).
The Kansas City Board of Public Utilities has signed a 20-year PPA for approximately 50% of the energy.
Yahoo will take the remainder under a 15-year PPA.
New Jersey Resources chairman and chief executive officer Laurence Downes said: “With the successful completion of the Alexander wind farm, onshore wind now accounts for 40% of our distributed power capacity and underscores NJR Clean Energy Ventures’ continuing efforts to strengthen and diversify our portfolio, as well as our commitment to make clean energy – and its benefits – more accessible.”
