Akuo Consortium Commissions Bennington Wind Farm

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
16 Nov, 2021, 5:30 am

A consortium led by Akuo and composed of Harrison Street, Morgan Stanley, and GE Energy Financial Services announced the commissioning of Bennington Wind, a 93.06 MW wind farm located approximately 100 miles southwest of Chicago in Bennington, Illinois. Bennington Wind is the third wind farm developed and operated by Akuo in North America. The consortium began construction of the wind farm in September 2020 and the project was fully operational on schedule. Bennington Wind delivers significant economic benefits to Marshall County and the State of Illinois, having already created an estimated 350 jobs during construction, 150 of which were filled by residents of Marshall County. Over the operational life of the wind farm, the project is expected to generate over USD 19 million in property taxes with USD 12.1 million going to local schools. The forecasted production of Bennington Wind would power more than 33,000 Illinois homes and offset the equivalent of more than 300,000 tons of carbon dioxide during each year of operation, equal to more than 9 million tons of avoided carbon emissions over the project’s 30-year life.

Harrison Street is Akuo’s cash equity partner on Bennington Wind. This investment represents Harrison Street's fourth investment in a U.S. wind farm and the first with Akuo.

Morgan Stanley was the sole provider of the plant’s construction financing and is exclusive buyer of power and Renewable Energy Credits under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement. This PPA will deliver a significant portion of Morgan Stanley’s renewable energy required to achieve the firm’s commitment to 100% carbon neutrality and 100% renewable electricity sourcing by 2022. The wind farm’s renewable electricity production will account for 50% of Morgan Stanley's electricity consumption and 30% of its carbon footprint globally.

GE EFS is the tax equity provider for this project making this the third successful collaboration with Akuo along with Rocksprings wind farm in Texas and Sterling wind farm in New Mexico. GE Renewable Energy supplied thirty-three 2.82 MW turbines to the project.

Heet van de naald….

The Washinton Post
Door Jennifer McDermott | AP
Vandaag om 13:20 EST

De regering van Biden keurde woensdag een offshore windpark voor de kust van Rhode Island goed als onderdeel van een plan om tegen 2030 30 gigawatt offshore windenergie in te zetten.

Het Amerikaanse ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken heeft aangekondigd dat het de bouw en exploitatie van het South Fork Wind-project heeft goedgekeurd, de tweede goedkeuring door het ministerie van een offshore windenergieproject op commerciële schaal in de Verenigde Staten. Vorige week markeerde de afdeling de eerste paal voor de kust van Massachusetts voor het eerste offshore windproject op commerciële schaal.

Zeven grote offshore windparken zouden worden ontwikkeld aan de oost- en westkust van de VS en in de Golf van Mexico in het kader van een plan dat vorige maand door de regering-Biden werd aangekondigd om infrastructuur te bouwen, banen te creëren en de opwarming van de aarde aan te pakken. De inzet van 30 gigawatt aan offshore windenergie zou genoeg elektriciteit opwekken om meer dan 10 miljoen huishoudens van stroom te voorzien.

Het South Fork Wind-project zal ongeveer 19 mijl (30 kilometer) ten zuidoosten van Block Island, Rhode Island, en 35 mijl (56 kilometer) ten oosten van Montauk Point, New York worden gevestigd. Het zal naar verwachting ongeveer 130 megawatt leveren, genoeg stroom voor ongeveer 70.000 huishoudens.

Het eerste Amerikaanse offshore windpark opende in 2016 bij Block Island . Maar met vijf turbines is het niet op commerciële schaal. Orsted, het Deense energiebedrijf, heeft de ontwikkelaar Deepwater Wind uit Rhode Island overgenomen en exploiteert nu dat windpark.

Orsted ontwikkelt het South Fork Wind-project met nutsbedrijf Eversource. Het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken keurde tot 12 turbines goed. De kusttoezichthouders van Rhode Island gaven het project dit voorjaar kritische goedkeuring vanwege de bezwaren van de visserij-industrie en enkele milieuactivisten.
Commerciële visserijbedrijven hebben gezegd dat geplande offshore windprojecten voor de oostkust het moeilijk zouden maken om waardevolle vissoorten zoals sint-jakobsschelpen en kreeften te oogsten. Sommige natuurbeschermingsorganisaties vrezen dat grote turbines vogels zullen doden.

Het project voor de kust van Massachusetts, Vineyard Wind 1, zal naar verwachting ongeveer 800 megawatt produceren, genoeg stroom voor meer dan 400.000 huishoudens. De eerste bouwfasen omvatten het leggen van twee transmissiekabels die het windpark met het vasteland zullen verbinden.
De regering verwacht tegen 2025 ten minste 16 bouw- en exploitatieplannen voor commerciële offshore windenergie-installaties te herzien.

"We hebben geen tijd te verliezen met het cultiveren van en investeren in een schone energie-economie die ons generaties lang kan ondersteunen", zei minister van Binnenlandse Zaken Deb Haaland in een verklaring. “Slechts een jaar geleden waren er geen grootschalige offshore windprojecten goedgekeurd in de federale wateren van de Verenigde Staten. Vandaag zijn het er twee, met nog een aantal in het verschiet.” (New Jersey, Maryland, Virgnia)
