Location:
Our company is based in Sedgwick, Phillips, and Logan Counties, CO, and proposed wind projects will also be in this area.
The topography in the project area varies from flatlands to rolling hills. Within the proposed project footprint, there are several small drainages, though the majority remain dry during most of the year. Most of the land is used for agriculture, primarily for corn and wheat harvest.
Size:
- Potential output capacity of 650 MW.
- Could produce enough electricity to power more than 200,000 average-sized American homes.
Ownership Structure:
NECO Wind plans to follow National Wind's approach to wind energy development, which is different from more traditional models of development in the wind industry. The fundamental distinction is that we include the local community in the project by creating opportunities for them to be owners of NECO Wind. We believe that landowners and the local community should share in both turbine leases and the potential revenues from a successful wind project.
Commercial Operation Date:
NECO Wind expects to begin commercial operation in the next three to five years.
