Wind Farm
The Adams Wind Project incorporates 12 Alstom ECO 86 wind turbines and generates around 19.8 MW of clean wind power. The power generated from the project will be sold to Xcel Energy under a 20 year power purchase agreement (PPA) contracted with the company.
The Adams Wind Project is built under the ‘Community Wind’ format of Juhl Wind and the wind farm is owned collectively by the local residents and the farmers who have given the land for the project.
