MidAmerican Energy is acquiring Ivester Wind Project as part of its 2GW Wind XI project, which was announced in April 2016.

Ivester is slated for completion by the end of this year and will be generating enough clean energy to power more than 38,000 average Iowa homes.

By 2020, MidAmerican Energy expects its annual renewable energy generation to reach a level that will be sufficient to support more than 90% annual retail usage of its customers.

O’Hair further added: “The development of renewable energy is a critically important task for the nation and for local rural communities.

“We applaud MidAmerican Energy for their vision and commitment to construct additional wind energy generation and allow economic and environmental benefits to preserve the rural Iowa lifestyle.”
