---

Researched by Industrial Information Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Exelon Wind, a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC) (Chicago, Illinois), with White Construction Incorporated (Indianapolis, Indiana) and M J Electric (Iron Mountain, Michigan), finished the second phase of the $232 million Harvest Windfarm project in November 2012. At the existing site, 33 additional wind turbines were added for a total 106 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy.

The Harvest Windfarm is located in Elkton, Michigan. Phase I, which can supply energy for about 15,000 homes, went commercial in 2007 with 32 Vestas V82 wind turbines. Phase II was added this past November, with 33 V90 Vestas wind turbines. With Phase II up and running, an additional 15,000 homes and business are added to the total. Each wind turbine is 265 feet high and rotates at 14 to 17 revolutions per minute (RPM). Now that project is operational, the power that is generated for the local grid is sold to Consumers Power under a long-term service agreement.
