Those involved with the Ledyard Wind Project are asking the Kossuth County Board of Supervisors to revisit its ordinance and provided an explanation of why during a board meeting on March 20.
During an informational meeting in front of more than 50 people in a packed meeting room, Amshore U.S. Wind senior project developer, Eric Brionnes, and others from the company, outlined four points in the ordinance that are having an impact on proceeding with a 200-megawatt wind project in Hebron and Springfield townships.
To date, the Ledyard Wind Project has secured more than 50 long-term easements totaling over 11,000 acres. The project is expected to be operational in 2020.
Brionnes said that the midland guaranteed royalty payments for landowners throughout the operations will be $22.5 million.
