All nacelles, blades and towers will be produced at Vestas’ Colorado factories.The manufacturer states that it expects delivery to begin in the second quarter of 2017 and commissioning to begin in the fourth quarter of 2017.

“We’re honored to build on our successful relationship with E.ON and further deploy the versatile V110-2.0 MW turbine to their project. E.ON is a dedicated renewable energy leader both globally and in North America, and we look forward to help them deliver low-cost, clean electricity,” says Chris Brown, president of Vestas’ sales and service division in the U.S. and Canada.

We are not even close to needing storage on the vast majority of grids in the U.S

Solar is pushing NG fired "peakers" off the grid in many places now.

Personal experience with solar is close to totally irrelevant

Oh, it's very relevant.

Just Googling stuff will not provide you with all the necessary information.
