Ørsted takes final investment decision on 201 MW Wind farm in USA
Ørsted’s Board of Directors has taken the final investment decision (FID) on the onshore wind farm Sunflower Wind in Kansas. The wind farm will have a capacity of 201 MW and will be located in Marion County, mid-Kansas. The project will become Ørsted’s fourth onshore wind farm in the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) energy market.
The project was acquired last year. Since the acquisition, critical development activities have been completed. Sunflower Wind will bring Ørsted’s capacity in the SPP energy market to 832 MW, which is enough to power almost 270,000 US homes.
The project is expected to reach commercial operation in the second half of 2023.
