Wind Turbines Beginning to Go Up in DeWitt County

Wind turbine components are rolling in and the erection process is underway for the Alta Farms II wind farm in northwest DeWitt County.

 

Brayten McGee is the project manager for the Enel Green Power and on the WHOW Morning Show Monday to Regional Radio they are receiving components, some have already started to go up, and the rest are on the way.

 

 

The project faced a short slowdown roughly a month ago as the County Board put a pause on issuing building permits over curtailment issues. McGee says though the biggest slow down for the project has been the recent rains in central Illinois.

 

 

There has been confusion over the work on Rt. 10 from this summer being prepared for the wind farm but McGee says they did not have a hand in that work. 

 

 

Components for the turbines will continue to be delivered over the next several weeks and McGee anticipates those being all delivered by the end of November and the turbines installed and online by the spring.
