The project has 72 Vestas V150 4.2-MW turbines. White Construction, an IEA subsidiary, was in charge of the remaining plant contractors. EDP Renewables has 1,200 MW of operating capacity in Indiana, with more wind and solar projects in the final stages of development or under construction around the state.
