Leeward, Target sign virtual PPA for 79 MW Lone Tree wind project in US
Leeward Renewable Energy, LLC has announced that it has entered into a Virtual Power Purchase Agreement with Target Corporation that will enable the construction of its Lone Tree Wind Project, a greenfield wind development project located in Bureau County, Illinois. The Lone Tree facility will have a capacity of approximately 79.4 megawatts (MW) and provide economic, health and clean air benefits to Bureau County.
Lone Tree will be built adjacent to an existing Leeward-owned wind farm, Crescent Ridge, leveraging Leeward’s long-standing relationships with the community. The project is expected to generate approximately 125 full-time construction jobs during construction and the opportunity for permanent local jobs. The project also will create tax revenue to the County and neighboring townships.
Leeward expects to commence construction of the project in fall 2019 and to complete construction in December 2020.
