Located in Caddo County the wind farm will use GE’s 2.8-127 turbines.
Construction on the project has begun, with commissioning expected in 2021.
The agreement also provides for a 15-year full-service agreement.
GE Renewable Energy’s chief executive for onshore wind Americas Tim White said: GE Renewable Energy is proud to continue our relationship with Allete Clean Energy by working together on the Caddo wind farm. Our 2MW platform leverages proven, reliable technology and is ideally suited for this part of the country at a time when the world needs access to clean, affordable energy.

Chris Sowa:
There are a couple of things we can tactically drive toward to radically reduce the carbon footprint, let’s say by 40% by 2040. We need to leverage the change that COVID has spurred through work at home, so we consider how we can repurpose our building stock. Now what the buildings are going to look like, it’s still becoming clear. What we know, however, is that we have a lot of malls and retail space that are closing down and might

Among its many provisions, the bill included an important provision for the maritime and offshore wind industries. Specifically, Section 9503 of the legislation affirms that the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), which governs offshore energy activities in federal waters, applies to offshore wind and other renewable energy, including the application of the Jones Act.
A statement Offshore Marine Service Association (OMSA) says the provision will provide for investment and ensure parity between oil and gas and renewable energy projects. The association compared the provision to an amendment offered earlier this year by U.S. Representative John Garamendi (D-CA) to the Clean Economy Jobs and Innovation Act, which clarifies that existing safeguards that govern offshore oil and gas also apply to
