The Iron Star Wind Project is a 297.6 MW wind farm located in Ford County, Kansas. The facility began operating in 2021 and is owned and operated by Engie North America, a subsidiary of the French multinational ENGIE. The plant utilizes a single generator consisting of onshore wind turbines manufactured by Nordex, specifically the N149/4.8 model. These turbines have a hub height of 108 meters and a rotor diameter of 149 meters.
In its most recent year of operation, the Iron Star Wind Project generated 1,224,835 MWh of electricity, achieving a capacity factor of 47.0%. The plant is interconnected to the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) balancing authority and resides within the Midwest Reliability Organization (MRO) NERC region. Iron Star Wind Project is ranked as the 8th largest wind farm in Kansas out of 44, and 121st nationally out of 734 wind facilities.

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.
