Woodstock, Minn.-based Juhl Wind Inc. has completed a 20-year, 19.8 MW power purchase agreement between Danielson Wind Farms LLC and Xcel Energy.
The Danielson Wind Farms project will be a community-owned and operated facility consisting of 12 wind turbines at an estimated cost of approximately $46 million.
The project will be located in Meeker County, Minn. It will consist of a locally controlled LLC made up of Meeker County residents and a to-be-determined tax-equity partner.
Juhl Wind has been assisting the local owners in the development of the project since the spring of last year and led the team to win a competitive request for proposals (RFP) issued by Xcel Energy.
‘While we are very focused on the construction of our 2009 wind farm projects, we continue to win new business in partnership with our local owner groups like Danielson,’ says John Mitola, president of Juhl Wind.
The project is expected to go online in the fourth quarter of 2010. Juhl Wind will continue to serve as the project's developer and contractor.
