The Plaines wind farm, brought online in February 2020, operates 13.2 MW of Vestas turbine capacity in an area aptly named for its flat, open terrain. Developed by Virya Energy (ex-Eurowatt), this installation benefits from unobstructed wind flows that are characteristic of plain landscapes, resulting in consistent and predictable energy generation throughout the year. The Vestas turbines feature advanced aerodynamic designs that maximize energy capture even during moderate wind periods, ensuring optimal capacity utilization. Virya Energy’s strategic site selection and thorough wind resource assessment prior to development have resulted in performance metrics that exceed initial projections, demonstrating the importance of rigorous planning in renewable energy projects.
