The Woodstock Hills wind farm was developed by Juhl Wind and is located near Juhl’s headquarters in Minnesota. The system includes 17 Vestas V-44 turbines that have been in operation for approximately 10 years. The wind farm is owned by a community-based joint venture with Edison Mission Energy.
Dan Juhl, CEO of Juhl Wind, said: “The addition of the Woodstock Hills service business is something we had planned for after the turbine warranty period expired. When we develop wind farms, we always plan to provide the operations and administrative services on a long-term basis.
“In our newly developed wind farms, we are also adding long-term contracts for the system maintenance. All of these service contracts ensure the long-term integrity of the wind farms for our farmer-owner groups while providing Juhl with predictable, annual revenue streams. This contract represents about a 20% increase to our existing service business.”
