(Webster City, IA) — Officials say construction of a large wind farm in central Iowa is on schedule to be finished by November. James Stovall, site manager for Apex Clean Energy, says the Great Pathfinder wind project will stretch into Boone and Hamilton counties. He says all public roads are finished and trenching operations for the turbines began last week. Deliveries of the turbines and blades will begin early next month and conclude by October. Apex says up to 200 people are working on the project site in both counties. When complete, the turbines will have a capacity of 224 megawatts, enough to power 56 thousand homes.
