Ørsted has started operations at Sunflower Wind, an onshore wind farm located in Marion County, Kansas, the USA.
The project will utilise a new aircraft detection lighting system so that the night-time lights on the wind turbines blink only when aircraft are detected to reduce light pollution for residents. Working with Schneider Electric, Ørsted entered into power purchase agreements with Amcor, PepsiCo, Stryker, Citizens, and Walmart’s Project Gigaton cohort, which includes Amy’s Kitchen, Great Lakes Cheese, The J.M. Smucker Co., Levi Strauss & Co., and Valvoline Global Operations.
