Wind farms are having a huge impact on agriculture. Many farms are turning to wind turbines to make extra money and credits. Large electric companies are buying into the trend and bringing business to new farms.
American Electric Power has sealed a deal to bring 100 megawatts of wind power to Ohio. The company, based out of Columbus, OH made plans to purchase power from a wind farm in northwestern Indiana.
The 100 watts is part of a transaction that will bring 250 megawatts to many parts of AEP’s 11 state coverage.
The farm will be developed by BP Wind Energy and will be up and running by the end of 2009.
AEP owns a total of 38,000 megawatts of power that provides energy for 5 million customers. Currently, Ohio does not see any of this wind-generated energy. Only one wind farm exists within the state in Bowling Green.
