The Gowrie office is Invenergy’s second local office in Webster County. It will serve as a central point for community members to learn about wind energy and the company’s community-first approach.

“Collaboration and community are at the heart of our work at Invenergy, and I’m excited to be joined today by folks from across Gowrie to open this new office, including the Gowrie Development Commission,” Angelia Millsap, lead project developer for the company, said during a ribbon cutting ceremony Tuesday.

“We look forward to getting to know the area and sharing more about the benefits of renewable energy projects for Iowa landowners and communities,” she added.

“The Gowrie Development Commission is pleased to welcome Invenergy’s new office to the community,” said Kathy Streit, director of the Gowrie Development Commission. “Supporting job growth, new investment, and partnerships such as this are precisely why we are proud to have Invenergy as a member. The Invenergy team has been an asset to our community and we anticipate continued benefits from their presence.”

Invenergy, North America’s largest privately held developer, owner and operator of clean energy solutions, has developed 18 energy generation and storage facilities in Iowa over nearly 20 years. With a total generation capacity of 3,670 megawatts, Invenergy’s operating portfolio in Iowa produces enough electricity to power more than 1.1 million homes.

Invenergy projects create more than $75 million in economic impact annually through local taxes, land and lease payments and wages and benefits.
