‘Indiana has great potential for future project developments, and we look forward to being a continued partner with the communities and IPL to increase wind generating capacity in the state,’ he added.
enXco constructs, owns, operates and manages renewable energy projects throughout the US. Its portfolio includes solar and biomass technologies, in an effort to help drive our nation’s transition to a sustainable energy economy.
