Earlier, E.ON Climate & Renewables, which is responsible in the E.ON Group for renewable energies and climate protection projects, completed the fourth and last section of the wind farm (782MW) in Roscoe, Texas.
Stony Creek is the first wind farm of E.ON Climate & Renewables located in Western Pennsylvania. It has been set up on the site of a former surface mine, which has now been put to new use. The project comprises 35 General Electric wind turbines with an installed capacity of approximately 53MW. The wind farm can supply about 16,000 homes with electricity.
E.ON has identified the US as a key market for the expansion of wind power. In the period from 2007 to 2011, E.ON is investing around EUR8 billion worldwide in renewables, especially in wind and solar projects. E.ON currently has around 15GW of wind projects in the development pipeline, about half of them are in the US.
