The Conception Wind Farm is located on the windswept ridges surrounding the Conception Abbey in Nodaway County, Missouri.
Wind Capital Group
moved Missouri into the ranks of leading wind energy production states
in the nation with the wind farm’s completion in early 2008. The 24
Suzlon S-88 wind turbines in the Conception Wind Farm have a nameplate
capacity of 50 megawatts (MW) of power. The wind farm is supplying
energy to homes and businesses through Associated Electric Cooperative,
Inc., and is connected to the 69,000-volt electrical transmission
system owned and operated by NW Electric Cooperative, Inc. More than
20,000 homes and businesses throughout Missouri receive renewable
electrical energy from the Conception Wind Farm.
