Italian Wind Power Company Enel Opens Biggest Wind Farm in Kansas

Italian wind energy company Enel SpA has announced that it has inaugurated its biggest ever wind power project, a 250 megawatt U.S. farm.

Enel said in a statement released earlier today that the Smoky Hills plant in Kansas will be fully operational by the end of this year, and will become the largest wind energy installation in the Great Plains state, and one of the largest in the entire country, capable of supplying the power needs of 85,000 U.S. households.

The news follows earlier stories of massive wind farm developments in Texas, including a 781 MW farm in Roscoe, Texas and another 79.5 MW site in the Texas panhandle.
