Alta Farms II Wind Project Nearing Completion, Will Be Delayed Going Online

The Alta Farms II wind farm currently being erected in northwest DeWitt County is just a few weeks away from having all the turbines installed but will be delayed going online.

 

That's according to project manager Braytem McGee who told Regional Radio on the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday they have around a dozen turbines to still be installed.

 

 

The Alta Farms II wind project was supposed to go live in May this spring but because of delays on the project, it will not actually go live until the fall. McGee explains that is because ComEd does not do summer outages for them to take the project live.

 

 

According to McGee, the tower placements all have a reason where they are placed. He indicates a small number of larger turbines are located closer to Clinton because of predetermined wind patterns.

 

 

After the heavy equipment from the project has been moved off, McGee says they will then work on the road improvements for those impacted by the project.
