innogy Renewables chief operating officer Hans Bünting said: “Today is an important milestone for innogy. Only one year since acquiring a 2GW pipeline of onshore wind projects, we are now implementing our first wind farm in the US.

“With Scioto Ridge, innogy’s successful US market entry becomes visible. Ohio’s place in the heartland of the US offers ideal conditions for renewable energy and is considered as an attractive market for clean energy investment.”

“Our growing team of more than 50 US-based innogy employees is driving our business growth across technologies, including onshore wind, offshore wind and solar. All of us at innogy are excited to deliver Scioto Ridge and continue with more long-term renewable energy investments in Ohio and other key US markets.”

The project will be built with a total investment of more than $300m.
