Enel Green Power Starts Operation of Its First Wind Farm in Illinois

HillTopper is located in Logan County and is supported by three long-term PPAs. “The completion of HillTopper represents our commitment to continued growth, through expansion into new areas and markets to serve new corporate and industrial customers,” said Antonio Cammisecra, Head of Enel Green Power. “Through this first project in Illinois, we are helping our customers meet their clean energy goals with competitive solutions that adapt to their power needs and business objectives.”

The investment in the construction of HillTopper, which is expected to generate around 570 GWh annually, amounts to approximately 325 million US dollars.

It's not the first time, Enel sells its green power to huge companies: Over the past year Enel signed around 570 MW of PPAs in the U.S., including to Adobe, Facebook and Kohler.
