MidAmerican Energy has reached a new milestone. According to a news release by MidAmerican Energy, the utility company delivered 100% renewable energy to serve its Iowa customers’ electricity usage in 2022. They stated, “MidAmerican’s wind fleet generated more than 27,000 gigawatt-hours over the 12-month period, exceeding the total annual usage of the company’s Iowa customers.”
MidAmerican’s first wind farm became operational in 2004. Shortly after, A&R Land Services became a contractor of MidAmerican Energy, to assist in the further development and logistics of wind farms across the state. Today, MidAmerican’s ‘wind fleet’ is currently comprised of 3,400 wind turbines at more than three-dozen wind farms across Iowa. Our team at A&R is proud to have such a pivotal part in renewable energy development in Iowa.
We continue to work for MidAmerican Energy assisting their wind renewable development and are excited about their future wind PRIME project: a proposed additional 2,042 megawatts of renewable generation. Wind PRIME would allow help maintain 100% level as businesses and communities grow. Learn more about their announcement: https://www.midamericanenergy.com/newsroom/2022-wind-prime-announcement
