   Ørsted has started operations at Sunflower Wind, an onshore wind farm
   located in Marion County, Kansas, the US. Sunflower Wind will be Ørsted’s
   13th operational wind farm in the United States, with a capacity to power
   more than 70,000 homes.

   In addition to providing affordable, renewable energy, Sunflower Wind will
   provide economic benefits to its host community and state economies. 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. 

   David Hardy, Group Executive Vice President and CEO of Region Americas at
   Ørsted, said: “We’re thrilled to celebrate this achievement and our first
   clean energy project in Kansas with the community, legislators, and our
   participating landowners. With Sunflower Wind, we now have 13 operational
   wind farms in the US, generating 832 MW in the Southwest Power Pool.” 

   Ørsted pioneered a landmark supply chain decarbonisation effort to deliver
   renewable energy access and bundled renewable energy credits from
   Sunflower Wind to nine companies. 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.

   Ørsted is committed to building its renewable energy projects sustainably
   with a goal of ensuring that all the projects it commissions from 2030
   onwards have a net-positive biodiversity impact. Working with The
   Conservation Fund, Ørsted is supporting voluntary land conservation
   efforts for up to 3,000 acres (approx. 12 square kilometres) located
   within the Flint Hills in central Kansas. In addition, Ørsted is
   partnering with the Kansas Chapter of The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to
   restore additional land under conservation easements. 

   Ørsted currently has nearly 6 GW of onshore renewable energy capacity in
   operation or under construction and aims to reach 17.5 GW of onshore
   renewable energy capacity globally by the end of the decade.
