ENGIE North America announces construction of 276 MW wind farm in Kansas
ENGIE North America Inc. has announced the start of construction of the Solomon Forks Wind Project, located in Thomas County, near the city of Colby in northwest Kansas. With a total capacity of 276 MW, the project is scheduled to come online in early summer 2019. The energy from the project will be sold to T-Mobile US, Inc. and Target Corp.
The project will use 105 Siemens Gamesa 2.625 MW turbines with 120-meter diameter rotors installed by the balance of plant contractor MA Mortenson Company. The total capital investment in the project is approximately $334 million.
ENGIE purchased the project from Infinity Power Holdings, a joint venture between Infinity Renewables and MAP® Energy, in February 2018 and then completed development prior to starting construction.
