Harvest Wind Project qualified for a U.S. Treasury Department grant for a portion of the construction costs; these funds were made available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The total project cost after the grant was $160 million. The utilities built the project to meet a portion of its State obligation for renewable energy, under Initiative 937, with the output of Harvest Wind. I 937 requires utilities with over 25,000 consumers to have 15% of their power come from renewable energy by 2020.
