The Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor has begun handling shipments of wind turbines and blades, which will be used to construct one of the world’s largest wind farms in the northwestern part of the state.
The Meadow Lake Wind Farm—a 26,000-acre “clean energy” project—could eventually contain 600 turbines supplying power to more than 250,000 homes.
On June 1, the port received the first shipment of generators and hubs built by Denmark-based Vestas Wind Systems. Later that month, 94 blades measuring 132-feet long by 10-feet high and 6-feet wide were unloaded at the port, along with more generators and hubs.
