Situated in the towns of Lincoln, Burlington, Lee, and Winn, the wind farm is equipped with 40 units of GE 1.5MW wind turbine and is expected to generate enough energy to power nearly 23,000 Maine homes per year.
Electricity generated from the facility will be sold to Bangor Hydro and Central Maine Power under long-term power supply contracts.
The wind farm’s construction was managed by US-based general contractor Reed & Reed.
First Wind said this power project will contribute to the local economy by delivering an estimated $24m in tax revenues to the four neighboring communities over a 30-year period.
With the completion of the Rollins Wind project, First Wind now has four projects in Maine with a total generating capacity of 185MW.
