Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is propositioning to disburse USD 3.9 billion to bring extra solar and wind generation to Iowa in a project that could be amongst the renewable industry’s most colossal endeavours.

Berkshire Hathaway’s ‘Wind Prime’ renewable energy project would facilitate 50 megawatts of solar power and 2,042 megawatts of wind generation, Berkshire’s MidAmerican Energy Company stated on Wednesday. This could generate sufficient power to sustain almost 600,000 households. The company is also brainstorming to finance research on technology that could assist with carbon capture, energy storage, and minor nuclear reactors.

The project would reinforce Iowa’s already momentous wind market. In 2019, the state produced 41% of its comprehensive energy requirements from wind, a surge from merely 5.1% in 2006, as per the Iowa Utilities Board. Governor Kim Reynolds dubbed the Wind Prime project as an investment and promise on a whole new standard.

Berkshire Hathaway, superintended by Warren Buffett as the CEO, has been fabricating MidAmerican Energy Company’s renewable endeavours off late. MidAmerican Energy Company estimates that it has delivered 88% renewable energy to Iowa consumers every year.

Buffett has stated that he estimated that the utility could accomplish ‘wind self-sufficiency’ in Iowa. MidAmerican Energy Company stated on Wednesday that the Wind Prime project will underpin the utility to deliver renewable energy equivalent to its Iowa consumers’ yearly usage.

The President and CEO of MidAmerican Energy Company, Kelcey Brown, stated that as the firm continued to advance towards delivering 100% renewable energy to its consumers, it was also concocting a means to meet an essential milestone of net-zero carbon emissions.

Berkshire Hathaway estimated that the Wind Prime project will birth 1,100 jobs during its construction phase, and an additional 125 for ongoing endeavours. It can produce an average of USD 24 million annually in local property-tax payments on the solar and turbines equipment, alongside over USD 21 million in yearly landowner-easement transactions. The firm estimates that the construction will be finished in the dusk of 2024 if the project receives approval.
