(Audubon) Phase II of the Heartland Divide Wind Energy project in Audubon County is heading into its next step.
Bo McGee with NextEra Energy says all requests have been taken care of which clears the way for 72 turbines to go up. “It will generate 200 megawatts of wind generated energy.” McGee says, “That energy is 100% wind energy. It’s clean, efficient, and generated right here in Audubon County.”
This marks the start of the construction phase. “As of today until completion, which we anticipate to be December of 2021, There will be trucks and construction crews moving this project into a reality essentially putting steel in the ground and creating jobs and energy for the community.”
Phase I of the project included 40 turbines and 100 megawatts of power.
