juwi Wind has begun the construction of the
30MW Community Wind South wind farm in
Nobles County, Minnesota, US. The company will
construct the wind farm using 15 turbine units
of REpower MM92, each with a generating
capacity of 2MW and a hub-height of 100m.
Xcel Energy will buy the electricity generated
from the project under a long-term purchase
agreement, and juwi will operate the wind
farm while part of the project will be owned by
the community. juwi’s community relations and
regulatory affairs manager Aaron Peterson said,
“juwi has enjoyed tremendous support from the
community, landowners, state regulators and
Xcel Energy.”
The foundation work for the turbines is being
constructed by Signal Energy Constructors and
will be completed in October 2012.
US-based juwi Wind is the North American
subsidiary of the juwi Group, a major international
developer of wind, solar and other renewable
energy projects.
