It can produce sufficient clean energy to power the equivalent of more than 52,000 homes each year. In addition, the project will provide economic benefits such as jobs throughout the construction process and operation, landowner payments, as well as money spent in nearby communities.<\/p>\n<p>The first phase of the project, Headwinds I Wind Farm, became operational in 2014 and has paid about $2.6 million in cumulative payments to local governments and more than $11.9 million to local landowners in 2017. The addition of Headwind II Wind Farm will increase the tax payments contributed to the county.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cEDP Renewables is pleased to work with Facebook to help in meeting their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/corporate-america-embraces-solar-power\/\">sustainability goal of procuring renewable energy<\/a> to support their operations\u201d,<\/em> Joao Manso Neto, EDP Renewables CEO, said in prepared remarks. <em>\u201cCorporate purchasers, like Facebook, who purchase fixed, competitively-priced renewable energy have greatly contributed to the continued growth and success of the wind industry\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The social media giant signed a 15-year PPA for 139 megawatts of the energy produced at the 200-megawatt Headwaters Wind Farm in Indiana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":237,"featured_media":1004247719,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21743,1590,21748,13,21742,21786],"tags":[41501,35709,40826],"class_list":["post-1004247716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-deals","category-indianapolis","category-industrial","category-midwest","category-latest","category-sustainability","tag-edp-renewables","tag-facebook","tag-wind-power"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
