We Energies announced the purchase of turbines from Vestas:
MILWAUKEE – We Energies has purchased 88 wind turbines from Vestas Wind Systems for construction of the Blue Sky Green Field wind project in Fond du Lac County. Each Vestas V82 turbine is capable of producing 1.65 megawatts of electricity for a project total of 145 megawatts, enough energy to power approximately 36,000 homes.
This represents the state’s largest wind project to date.
Construction is expected to begin in summer 2007 and will take approximately one year to complete. Six months will be needed for site preparation and the installation of turbine foundations and cabling. An additional six months will be required for turbine erection, assembly, and commissioning.
