Michigan's first wind farm is producing Filed from Houston 5/27/2008 6:28:35 PM GMT d-03 HURON COUNTY, MICHIGAN: Madison, Wisconsin-based WindConnect has completed construction of the Harvest Wind Farm, the first-utility scale wind facility to operate in Michigan. The facility is located on 3,200 acres in Huron County and has begun commercial operation. WindConnect managed construction of turbine foundations, roadways, an underground collection system and an interconnection substation at the site. John Deere Wind Energy owns and operates Harvest Wind Farm and Wolverine Power Cooperative has signed an agreement to purchase energy produced at the site. The energy will be sold throughout Michigan. The Harvest Wind Farm features 32 Vestas V82 wind turbines, with a capacity to produce 53 MW of electricity. WindConnect claims the facility will provide enough power to supply over 14,000 homes, and save approximately 127,000 tons per year of greenhouse gas emissions from what would have been produced from fossil fuel generators.
