IEA CEO JP Roehm said: “The Richland project demonstrates Iowa’s strong and ongoing commitment to wind energy.

“The state is already home to nearly 9,000 installed megawatts, and there are more than 1,100 additional megawatts currently under construction there.”

The Richland windfarm will be equipped with 53 WTG wind turbines that will be delivered by GE, and the energy generated by the windfarm will be supplied to Iowa’s electrical grid.

IEA will start construction works at the site beginning this month. The project is expected to start its commercial operations by September 2020.
