200 MW wind project in US starts commercial operation
Invenergy has announced the completion of construction and the start of commercial operations of the 200 megawatt Upstream Wind Energy Center in Antelope County, Nebraska.
Located just north of the City of Neligh, Upstream was developed and constructed by Invenergy and will generate enough electricity to power 68,000 American homes.
The project supported 275 workers during peak construction and will create 11 permanent full-time operations and maintenance jobs for the long-term operation of the project. Upstream will contribute approximately US$2 million annually to the local economy through tax payments, lease payments to participating landowners, and wages and benefits for employees.
Invenergy and WEC Energy Group signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement for WEC Energy Group’s acquisition of an 80 percent interest in the project. Invenergy will retain a 20 percent interest and provide operations and maintenance, asset management and energy management services for the project.
