Ørsted Finds Needle in a Haystack

Danish wind developer Ørsted continues to expand its footprint in the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) of the US. Situated adjacent to the company's 230 MW Plum Creek wind farm, Haystack Wind Farm will utilize existing interconnection infrastructure in SPP North. Haystack is expected to come online at the end of next year.

"The acquisition of Haystack adds another large-scale project in a region with robust wind resource to our Onshore portfolio and is a further reflection of our continuing strategy to supplement our core development activities with opportunistic acquisitions" says Vishal Kapadia, CFO Ørsted Onshore.

With the addition of Haystack Wind, Ørsted's onshore business has now reached 3 GW of capacity in operation and under construction.
