The Clear Creek Energy Center is a private 242 MW wind farm, located in Nodaway County, Missouri. It contains 111 wind turbines spanning a 31,000-acre area of north of Maryville. The wind farm has two parts: 11 Vestas V110/2000 that are 110m in diameter, and 100 Vestas V120/2200 that are 120m in diameter. The energy center got its name from nearby Clear Creek which flows to its northwest.
Tenaska Clear Creek produces energy under a 25-year power purchase agreement with AECI, a Springfield, Missouri based electric cooperative. The turbines were manufactured by Vestas, and the power station was built by Mortenson. Over 350 local area workers were employed to construct it, and the project cost more than $300 million. The operation is supported by 16 local employees, and over 160 landowners collect over $1.2 million in leases from the wind farm.
The wind turbines are located in Atchison, Hopkins, Nodaway, Polk, and Union Townships in Nodaway County, Missouri. The headquarters is located in Union Township about 2.5 miles west-southwest of Pickering.
