Duke Energy commissions 207 MW wind project in Iowa

Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions (DESS) has inaugurated the 207 MW Ledyard wind power project in Kossuth County, Iowa, USA. Amshore Renewable Energy and DESS co-developed the wind farm.

Ledyard will generate enough renewable energy to power the equivalent of 75,000 houses in the US. It consists of 46 Vestas V150 4.5-MW turbines.

Verizon Communications is supporting the project with a 15-year virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) for 180 MW of energy from the project.
