Scioto Ridge wind farm begins operations

Scioto Ridge is RWE’s 28^th onshore wind farm in the US and has the capacity to provide clean energy for more than 60 000 households.

Ohio has enormous potential for future projects, as wind power provides less than 2% of the total electricity generation in the state. In addition, Ohio has a long history of industrial manufacturing, including approximately 52 wind-related factories – the most of any single state in the US.

The US accounts for more than one third of the RWE Group’s renewables capacity playing a key role in the company’s strategy to grow its renewables business. It constructs, owns and operates some of the highest performing wind, solar and energy storage projects in the US.

Furthermore, the company has entered into a joint venture (JV), New England Aqua Ventus, focused on floating offshore wind in the state of Maine, US.
