Iberdrola has completed the construction of the 304 MW Blue Creek wind farm located in the Van Wert and Paulding Counties of Ohio, US. The wind farm employs 152 units of Gamesa G90 turbines with a capacity of 2 MW each.
Iberdrola signed a power purchase agreement with US firm FirstEnergy Solutions in Feburary 2011 for 100 MW of the total output of the project over the next 20 years. The company has also signed two agreements for the power generated by this facility; the first agreement is with San Diego Gas & Electric company, which will receive 100 MW of power generated over the next 20 years. The second agreement has been signed with Silicon Valley Power, which will receive 50 MW of the energy produced over the same period.
Iberdrola has also started work this month on the Manzana wind power project, another renewables initiative in the US, which is located near the town of Rosamond in California and will have installed capacity of 189 MW (90 GE turbine nacelles).
