(KLZA)-- Enel Green Power North America has started construction on a 236.5 megawat wind project in Nodaway County, Missouri.
The “White Cloud” wind project will supply power to Associated Electric Cooperative based in Springfield, Missouri once it is completed.
White Cloud is Enel Green Power's second project in Missouri. Commercial operation of the project is anticipated to begin in 2020. During the life of the project it is expected to create more than $43-million in property tax revenue and more than $56-million in lease payments for local landowners.
Currently Enel operates the 300 MW Rock Creek wind farm in Atchison County which began commercial operation in 2017.
Enel Green Power has renovated the former ShopKo building in downtown Tarkio for use as an operations center for both wind farm projects and has provided funds to stabilize wetland habitats at the Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge and has joined with other community partners to help re-establish Tarkio College.
