Decommissioned

  • Municipal Energy Agency of Nebraska (MEAN) installed seven turbines on a farm located near Kimball. The wind farm began operation in October 2002. With the addition of the Kimball Wind Farm, Nebraska's wind energy generation more than doubled in 2002 from 2001 and again more than doubled in 2003 from 2002. Maximum capacity of the Kimball Wind Farm is 10,500 kilowatts (or 10.5 megawatts) and the average annual output could power 2,000 homes. The Kimball wind farm is no longer operational. It is being decommissioned and will no longer be generating. The last generation data was reported for May, 2017.
  • Omaha Public Power District and Valmont Industries installed one turbine by Valley which began operation on December 21, 2001. The maximum capacity of the Valley Station turbine was 660 kilowatts (or 0.66 megawatt), and the average annual output could power 150 homes. The Valley Wind Turbine is no longer operational, and due to age and cost of repair of the turbine, the Omaha Public Power District opted to begin decommissioning. The last generation data was reported for August, 2016.
  • Nebraska Public Power District installed two turbines near Springview and began operation in October 1998. (The numbers in the table below for December 1998 are totals for October, November, and December.) The Springview turbines were released for full power operation in late January 1999. Maximum capacity was 1,500 kilowatts, and the average annual output could power 380 homes. The six co–owners were: the City of Auburn (2 percent), the City of Grand Island (2 percent), the KBR Rural Public Power District (1 percent), the Lincoln Electric System (29 percent), the the Municipal Energy Agency of Nebraska (5 percent), and the Nebraska Public Power District (61 percent). The KBR Rural Public Power District operated the turbines. The Springview wind turbines were decommissioned, and the last generation data was reported for August, 2007. The main reasons to retire the Springview units were the lack of available replacement parts, significant maintenance issues as the units aged, and the opportunity to sell the turbines at an attractive price.

Notes: Numbers represent net generation. NA indicates that data is not available. Totals may not equal the sum of the components due to independent rounding.

1 Springview's numbers for December 1998 are totals for October, November, and December.

2 Salt Valley's turbine 2 became operational in October 1999. Numbers for both turbines are combined starting with October 1999.

3 Valmont dismantled the Valley Station wind turbine and tower in October, 2002; it was back online in June 2003.

4 Nebraska Public Power District retired the Springview wind turbines in August 2007.

5The Valley Station wind turbine was damaged during a storm in July 2008.

6 The Valley Station wind turbine was down for maintenance in July and August 2009.

7 Springview II's number for October 2011 is probably a total for August, September, and October.

8 The Kimball Wind project's last generation data was for May 2017. It was decommissioned by MEAN in October 2017 and sold to new owners who began commercial operation on June 29, 2018.

9 The Valentine turbine had zero generation in May and June 2022 because the turbine experienced a breakdown.

10 The Cuming County wind farm had zero generation in October, November, and December 2022 because the turbine experienced a breakdown and was waiting for parts.

11 The Springview II wind farm's generation in 2022 is low due to waiting on parts for one of the turbines. The other turbine was done in May 2022.

12 The Cuming County wind farm had zero generation in January 2023 due to being down from mechanical failures.

13 The Franklin County wind farm had zero generation in January 2023 due to being down from mechanical failures.

14 The Cuming County wind farm had zero generation in March 2024 due to being down.

15 The Prairie Wind wind farm had zero generation in August, September, and October 2023 due to waiting for parts for a failed gearbox.
