Duke Energy to build 207 MW onshore wind farm in USA
Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions, a nonregulated commercial brand of Duke Energy has announced the construction of the 207 megawatt (MW) Ledyard Windpower project in Kossuth County, Iowa. This will be the company's first renewable energy project in the state.
To support Verizon's net-zero goals, it has entered into a 15-year virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) for 180 MW of the wind energy generated by the wind farm. Ledyard Windpower was co-developed by Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions and Amshore Renewable Energy.
Once in operation, the Ledyard Windpower project will increase Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions' U.S. wind capacity to over 3,100 MW. The site will provide enough renewable energy to power the equivalent of more than 72,450 U.S. homes.
Full mobilization of construction for the project began in August 2021 by Wanzek Construction. Vestas will supply 46 V150 4.5-MW turbines for the project and Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions will perform the site's long-term maintenance and operations.
