Ironwood Wind is a 167.9 MW wind power plant located in Ford County, Kansas. The facility began operating in 2012 and utilizes a single generator fueled by wind (WND). The plant is owned by Duke Energy and operated by Duke Energy Renewables Services. It is interconnected to the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) balancing authority and falls within the Midwest Reliability Organization (MRO) NERC region.
The plant's wind turbines are onshore models manufactured by Siemens, specifically the SWT-2.3-101. These turbines have a rotor diameter of 101 meters and a hub height of 80 meters. In the most recent year of data, Ironwood Wind generated 251,707 MWh of electricity, achieving a capacity factor of 17.0%. The plant ranks 31st out of 44 wind facilities in Kansas and 427th out of 734 nationally.

No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
