This project, Ørsted’s first co-located facility, combines 268 MW of wind power and 250 MW of solar power, providing electricity for over 110,000 homes and businesses annually. Construction created 500 jobs, with ongoing operational roles expected. Spanning 18,000 acres, the project involves 40 landowners receiving $4 million annually in payments. It represents a half-billion-dollar investment, generating over $115 million in property tax revenue to support local services.
