PMLD replacing old wind turbines
PMLD was developing the project with Community Energy Incorporated, which was acquired in 2006 by Iberdrola Renewables, a subsidiary of Grupo Iberdrola. However, Iberdrola withdrew from the project, deeming it too small and allowing PMLD to take control.

PMLD expects Lumus to complete construction and commissioning within 30 days of delivery. PLMD Manager Jonathan Fitch has said that the city might consider one or two more turbine/generator sites after this project is complete.
