Tenaska Clear Creek Energy Center Generates 242 MW of Renewable Power in Northwest Missouri

The wind farm is located north of Maryville in Nodaway County across approximately 31,000 acres.

“This project was a team effort that involved not just Tenaska but also a number of landowners, community leaders and contractors. For us all to come together and bring online this safe and efficient wind farm, that is quite an accomplishment,” said Tenaska CEO and Vice Chairman Jerry Crouse. “The team achieved many milestones to get here, and we are excited that Tenaska Clear Creek has reached its goal: commercial operation and delivering renewable power to Associated Electric Cooperative.”

The wind farm produces renewable energy under a 25-year PPA with Associated Electric Cooperative Inc., an electric generation and transmission cooperative based in Springfield, Missouri. “Clear Creek helps us advance Associated’s strategy to deliver reliable, affordable and responsible power to our member-owners,” said David J. Tudor, Associated CEO and general manager. “Power from this resource contributes to our diverse and balanced energy mix and helps ensure we can continue to deliver benefits to our members.”

Construction of the wind farm began last spring.
