Wind Capital Group
Based in the American Midwest, Wind Capital Group is quickly becoming a leading wind developer in the United States. Since its foundation in 2005, Wind Capital Group has developed and constructed the only five operational wind farms in the State of Missouri, totalling 312 megawatts (MW), and will develop and construct its 201 MW Post Rock wind energy facility in Kansas through 2011/2012.
The Company has developed an ambitious pipeline of wind farm projects in states across the central United States. It is committed to harnessing a clean, renewable source of energy - creating jobs, generating economic opportunity and building a strong foundation for domestic energy independence. Wind Capital Group’s model is built on forming responsible partnerships with the communities in which it operates and providing long-term value for its investors. It considers the local communities around its projects to be the key foundation of a successful development and place a great emphasis on community relations and cooperation with farmers, ranchers, landowners and local leaders. The company developed America’s first 100% wind-powered community in Rock Port, Missouri.
In April 2008 NTR announced that it was investing $150m in Wind Capital Group. NTR’s investment will support the growth of the Wind Capital Group from a regional developer to a major national player in the US wind energy market.
