Project Overview
Where is the wind project located?
Northwest Ohio Wind Energy, LLC is developing a wind power project in Paulding and Van Wert Counties in Ohio.
How big is the wind power project?
- Potential output capacity of 300 MW.
- Could produce enough electricity to power over 80,000 average American homes.
- A 300-megawatt wind project would displace over 700,000 metric tons of the greenhouse gases each year, which is equivalent to taking over 130,000 passenger vehicles off the road.
- Our wind development could potentially significantly reduce air pollutants such as NOx, sulfur dioxide, and mercury, which contribute to respiratory problems, acid rain, and various other health and environmental problems.
Who owns the Northwest Ohio Wind Energy project?
Northwest Ohio Wind Energy will follow National Wind's approach to wind energy development, which is different from more traditional “corporate developers” in the wind industry. The fundamental distinction is that we include the local community in the project by creating opportunities for them to be owners of Northwest Ohio Wind Energy. We believe that landowners and the local community should share in both turbine leases and the potential revenues from a successful wind project.
Commercial Operation Date:
Northwest Ohio Wind Energy expects to begin commercial operation in three to five years.
