Boyd Jones installed the tallest GE wind turbine in the state of Nebraska (along with its counterpart in Polk County) as EPC contractor for this single-turbine project in Cuming County near Wisner. The project is home to a 2.5MW GE turbine with an 89-meter hub height and 127-meter rotor diameter. The local public power utility…

Bluestem’s Creston Ridge project, located just west of Creston, Nebraska, or about 30 miles south of Norfolk, has eight turbines constituting nearly 14 megawatts of generating capacity. The first four turbines comprising Creston Ridge I went online in 2015 with 6.8 MW of capacity, and Boyd Jones erected an additional three 2.3 MW turbines for phase…
When the City of Seward decided to invest in renewable energy, Boyd Jones and Bluestem Energy Solutions stepped in to provide the city of about 7,000 with a renewable energy resource connected directly to its distribution system. The City of Seward keeps 95% of the environmental attributes (Renewable Energy Certificates or REC’s) from this facility…
Serving as EPC, Boyd Jones built this three turbine, 6.9 MW wind farm located in southeast Nebraska for developer Bluestem Energy Solutions. Connected directly to the local power supplier’s distribution system, the public-private partnership set the table for a nearby ethanol plant to tap into carbon-free electricity generation, thereby reducing its carbon intensity and making…
Boyd Jones is nearing completion of the last of three wind turbines built for Bluestem Energy Solutions in Fillmore County, where Bluestem will sell clean electricity to Perennial Public Power District. The companies broke ground in November 2017 for the project comprising three 2.3-megawatt General Electric turbines. Electricity generated at the site will be fed…
Boyd Jones was involved in a public-private partnership with Bluestem Energy Solutions, Central Community College in Hastings, NE, and a local electric utility to construct a 1.7-megawatt General Electric wind turbine with a tower height of 80 meters near the school’s campus. The project serves a dual role as part of the campus’s new wind…
This single-turbine project features one 1.85 MW, GE turbine. Energy generated at the site is purchased by the City of Valentine in north-central Nebraska.
Located in Keya Paha County in northeast Nebraska, the Springfield Wind Farm features two 1.5 MW, direct drive Vensys 77 turbines. With rotor diameters of 252 feet and hub heights of 213 feet, these turbines replaced the earliest utility-scale wind turbines to be built in the state of Nebraska. The two towers at this site…
