Indianapolis
Power
and
Light
Deal
Brings
100 MW
Wind
Farm to
Indiana
Indianapolis
-
Indianapolis
Power
and
Light
Company
(IPL) is
announcing
an
agreement
that
will
bring a
100-megawatt
wind
farm to
Indiana.
The
project
will add
clean,
renewable
electric
energy
into
IPL’s
generation
portfolio,
which
powers
468,000
customers
in
Indianapolis
and
surrounding
counties.
Called
the
Hoosier
Wind
Project,
the wind
farm is
expected
to
include
67 GE
1.5
megawatt
wind
turbines.
Subject
to the
approval
of the
Indiana
Utility
Regulatory
Commission
(IURC)
and is
also
contingent
on the
extension
of the
federal
renewable
energy
tax
credit,
which
IPL
requested
on April
22, the
energy
from the
turbines
will be
purchased
by IPL
under a
20-year
Power
Purchase
Agreement
from
enXco,
an EDF
Energies
Nouvelles
Company.
“With
the use
of this
wind
energy,
IPL will
be able
to
reduce
CO2
emissions
by about
230,000
tons per
year,”
said IPL
President
and CEO
Ann
Murtlow.
“That’s
the
equivalent
of
removing
46,000
cars
from the
highway.”
Murtlow
added
that
“IPL has
seen
increasing
interest
in green
energy
from our
customers
and we
are
excited
to
further
diversify
our
generation
portfolio
to meet
that
interest.”
The wind
farm
will be
located
near the
town of
Fowler
in
Benton
County,
Indiana,
and is
expected
to go
into
operation
in 2009.
Steve
Peluso,
enXco’s
Midwest
Regional
Development
Director
stated
that
“enXco
is
thrilled
to be
adding
‘home
grown’
energy
for the
people
of
Indiana.
We are
looking
forward
to
working
with IPL
on this
important
and
innovative
project.”
