Ørsted A/S's Board of Directors has taken final investment decision on onshore wind farm Sunflower Wind in Kansas. The 201 MW wind farm will be located in Marion County, mid-Kansas, and will become Ørsted's fourth onshore wind farm in the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) energy market. The project was acquired together with Lincoln Land Wind last year.

Since the acquisition, critical development activities have been completed, and the project has been optimised to deliver a strong business case. Sunflower Wind will bring Ørsted's capacity in the SPP energy market to 832 MW, which is enough to power almost 270,000 US homes.
