Company backs Boone County wind farm plans despite international report - News - Rockford Register Star - Rockford, IL

- A company interested in developing a wind farm in Boone County says its leaders are still fundraising for a project, despite an international news report that indicated the business would be dropping its North America ties.
An Irish Times article from 2013 cited a document sent to Mainstream Renewable Power stakeholders stating that the development of new wind production facilities in North America was "unviable" for the company because of a lack of support and undesirable market conditions.
Vince Green, development project manager for the Ireland-based Mainstream Renewable Power, said although the development is dependent on the economy, it would be ideal for the company to see a project through to construction.
"(The article) makes it sound like we're cutting and running but that's not the case," Green said. "If we're pursuing additional funds or fundraising, that would suggest that we are not anticipating leaving the North America market."
