Enel Green Power North America began operating a 199-megawatt expansion of the Cimarron Bend wind farm in Clark County, Kan., bringing power generation for the entire project up to 599 megawatts and making it the company’s largest renewable energy plant. The Cimarron Bend project was designed by Lenexa-based Tradewind Energy LLC, a brand that was retired after Enel Green Power acquired the company in March 2019. Enel acquired and built the Cimarron Bend project, about 20 miles south of Dodge City. The Kansas City Board of Public Utilities, which serves Kansas City, Kan., has a 20-year deal to buy about half of the power from Cimarron Bend. Google Inc. bought the other half, part of an initiative it has underway to eventually become 100% powered by renewable energy.
