Arkansas officially flipped the switch on its first-ever utility-scale wind farm. (Electrek)
The project: The 135 MW Crossover Wind farm utilizes 32 US-made Vestas turbines to generate power just west of Memphis.
The buyer: In a familiar twist, Big Tech is footing the bill. Microsoft signed a 20-year deal to buy 100% of the electricity generated by the site.
The major payday: The project is expected to funnel ~$950K/year to Cross County and $50M+ to landowners over its lifetime.
