Loess Hills Wind Farm is a 5 MW project
adding a renewable power source to
the Rock Port, Missouri municipal
utility system. Built on agricultural
lands within the city limits of Rock
Port, four Suzlon 1.25 MW turbines
connect directly to the city's high
voltage line. Homes and businesses
getting power from Rock Port's Municipal
Utility will use wind energy, backed
by other supply from the Missouri
Joint Municipal Utility system. The
Loess Hills Wind Farm will produce
enough electricity to make Rock Port,
Missouri the first community in America
capable of meeting its entire annual
electricity demands from wind power.
Construction on Bluegrass Ridge began
in June of 2006. The wind farm erected
27 S88 turbines. Each of the turbines
in Gentry County has a nameplate capacity
of 2.1 megawatts (MW) for a total
project size of 56.7 MWs. Bluegrass
Ridge is projected to provide enough
"green energy" to power about 34,000
homes. Proudly 6.3 MWs of energy has
been sold to the city of Columbia,
MO.
COW
BRANCH WIND ENERGY CENTER
(Atchison County, Missouri)
Construction on the Cow
Branch Wind Energy Center began in 2007
in Atchison County, Missouri. The wind farm
will consist of 24 Suzlon S88s, each with
a nameplate capacity of 2.1 MW, for a total
project size of 50.4 MWs. Cow Branch is
expected to provide enough clean, renewable
energy for 30,000 homes.

deliveries. Foundations are completed,
and town erection will begin shortly.
This 50 MW wind project should go on
line by the end of 2007.
FUTURE
PROJECTS:
Wind Capital Group’s presence in
the wind energy industry is growing rapidly.
Currently, Wind Capital Group is working
on development of future projects totaling
more than 1400 MW in ten states.
