The Ohio Power Siting Board will also in the future hold a more traditional public hearing at which time Icebreaker Windpower/LEEDCo staff will present the project and OBSB staff will take public comments. A date has not been set. The DOE plans to award the project more than $50 million -- as long as the project continues to meet its engineering timeline. The current plan is to build the wind farm over the summer and fall of 2018 and begin commercial operations during the first quarter of 2019. Icebreaker Windpower has plans to buy the six wind turbines for the pilot project from MHI Vestas, a company created by Vestas Wind Systems of Denmark and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan. Each turbine will have a generating capacity of 3.45 megawatts. Icebreaker at one time was also considering purchasing turbines from Siemens and much earlier from a division of General Electric. Fred Olsen has already invested money in the project, though it has not released a specific amount.
