Since early June, large components of wind turbines have been making their way to the Havana (Ill.) Regional Port by rail and barge, to be trucked the final distance to the Glacier Sands Wind Project. In early June, the first shipment of turbine blades arrived by barge at Havana. They were offloaded at the Havana Wind Turbine Dock (a former coal station) at the north end of town on the Illinois Waterway. The Glacier Sands Wind Project is an operational 185-megawatt wind farm located in Mason County, Ill., whose seat is Havana. Owned and operated by Cordelio Power, the facility began commercial operations in December. The wind farm was developed by Swift Current Energy and Cordelio Power with an investment of $275 million. |
