DCD>Connect | New York procured renewable energy and here's the proof

The 300 MW, Milligan 1 Wind Project located in Nebraska became operational in 2021. EDF Renewables handled the development of this project. The Project is located in Saline County, NE. EDF Renewables invested more than $350 million into rural Nebraska. The Project includes more than 150 area landowners. The Project will created approximately 200 jobs throughout the construction period, which resulted in millions of dollars in local spending at hardware stores, hotels, restaurants, and similar businesses. The project will generate and support full-time, high-paying operations and maintenance jobs. An estimated $100 million in property tax revenue over the life of the project, and participating landowner lease payments will inject additional income into the community that will provide financial support to reinvest into schools, infrastructure and other important community needs. The Project achieved commercial operation in May 2021.
