In October 2007, Invenergy Wind closed construction and term debt financing for this facility. The Forward Energy wind farm will utilize GE’s 1.5MW SLE wind turbines.
Invenergy Wind said that 86 wind turbines, representing 129MW of electrical capacity, are under construction and the facility is expected to be fully operational by June 2008.
Power will be sold under long-term contracts to Wisconsin Public Service, Wisconsin Power and Light, Madison Gas and Electric and Wisconsin Public Power.
The wind farm will be operated by Invenergy Wind’s parent firm, utility-scale electricity generator Invenergy.
