HARPER, Kan. (AP) Construction is under way in south-central Kansas of what’s expected to be the state’s largest wind farm.
State officials joined representatives of BP Wind Energy and Sempra U.S. Gas Power on Wednesday to mark the start of work on the Flat Ridge 2 wind farm in Harper County.
Gov. Sam Brownback said in a news release the project is important for the nation’s energy production and revitalizing rural Kansas.
The $800 million wind farm is located on a 66,000-acre site about 40 miles southwest of Wichita.
