The project, developed by TradeWind Energy, is jointly owned by GE Energy Financial Services and Enel Green Power North America.
As a general contractor, RES Americas worked in alliance with TradeWind Energy to facilitate the project’s engineering, design, and construction schedule.
Commenting on the developments, RES Americas chief operating officer Andrew Fowler said that the company enjoyed working with TradeWind and is keen on completing the project for Enel.
"Kansas is a leader in wind energy, and the continued development of its renewable energy resources will bring additional capital investment, jobs and tax revenue to the state," noted Fowler.
The project will feature 135 GE turbines producing power to meet energy requirements of 85,000 homes, and reducing 800,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year.
Also, the company has signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Alabama Power Company for the project.
Meanwhile, TradeWind chief development officer Matt Gilhousen stated: "Upon completion of the Buffalo Dunes Wind Project, TradeWind will have developed 750 MW of operating wind generation in Kansas alone, representing over one billion dollars of investment and producing enough clean, renewable energy to meet the needs of over 250,000 homes."
