Ørsted starts construction of 298 MW Haystack Wind project in Wayne County

Ørsted has acquired and made a final investment decision for the 298 MW Haystack Wind project in Wayne County, Nebraska, USA.

Situated adjacent to Ørsted's 230 MW Plum Creek wind farm, Haystack will utilize existing interconnection infrastructure in SPP North.

Haystack is expected to come online in the fourth quarter of 2021.

On average, the project will contribute US$4 million per year in local taxes and landowner payments to the community and will employ 300 construction workers at its peak.
