Ørsted's board of directors has made a final investment decision on the onshore wind farm Sunflower Wind in Kansas. The 201 MW onshore wind farm will be located in Marion County in central Kansas and will be Ørsted's fourth wind farm in the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) electricity market.
- I am pleased that we can once again make a final investment decision on a project in the SPP market. Sunflower Wind will be able to supply more than 68,000 households with green electricity, and we look forward to completing the construction of the project, which is expected to be put into commercial operation in the second half of 2023, says Neil O'Donovan, CEO of Ørsted Onshore.
The project was acquired together with Lincoln Land Wind last year. Since the acquisition, a number of key development activities have been completed and the project has been optimized to deliver a strong business case. Sunflower Wind will bring Ørsted's total capacity in the SPP electricity market to 832 MW, which is enough to power nearly 270,000 US households.
