Summary:
The 298 MW wind farm is Orsted’s first onshore project using 5 MW Siemens Gamesa wind turbines and brings the company's US onshore wind and solar capacity in operation above 3 GW. Located in Wayne County, Nebraska, Haystack Wind utilizes existing interconnection infrastructure in Southwest Power Pool (SPP) North from Orsted's 230 MW onshore wind farm Plum Creek Wind, which is placed close by. Between the two projects, Orsted has now invested more than half a billion dollars in the state of Nebraska. Haystack Wind becomes Orsted’s second operating project in Nebraska and its third operating project in the SPP market. The wind farm has a capacity of 298 MW and is contracted by power purchase agreements with Hormel Foods, Target, and PepsiCo.
