Company Plans 3 Wind Farms in Southeastern Nebraska

windmillWILBER, Neb. (AP) — A company has announced that it plans to create three wind farms in southeastern Nebraska.

Aksamit Resource Management’s projects represent a $725 million investment in Saline, Thayer and Fillmore counties.

The projects include a 300-megawatt site that will have 150 turbines spread out over 30,000 acres in Saline and Fillmore counties and a 76-megawatt project that will have 40 turbines on 8,000 acres in Thayer County. Those two projects are scheduled to be operational in 2019.

A 73-megawatt farm with 40 turbines is planned for Saline County, and is expected to be operational within the next two years.

Aksamit announced this week that it has filed with the Southwest Power Pool to hook up two of the wind farms to power transmission lines owned by the Nebraska Public Power District.
