Invenergy is negotiating a power purchase agreement, but has not revealed the name of the potential purchaser.
Gina Wolf, director of business development for Invenergy, the centre will be built in an area bordered by Woodford County on the north, Interstate 39 on the east and Interstate 74 on the south and west. The property involves about 100 landowners, she said.
Jim Gillmeister, chief financial officer for Unit 5 school district, said the 100 turbines could bring $815,000 a year in tax revenue for Unit 5, which serves school children in the area. Wind companies pay between $12,000 and $16,000 in taxes per turbine annually.
Under the current development plan, the first tax revenue would be available in 2011, Gillmeister said.
