DES MOINES, Iowa - The Iowa Utilities Board approved a project called WIND XII on Tuesday.
With a price tag of $922-million dollars, MidAmerican Energy is poised to move ahead with the wind turbine project.
When complete in the year 2021, the project will give MidAmerican more than 6,600 megawatts of renewable power in Iowa.
The utility company thinks the project will allow it to cover 100-percent of its customers' annual energy needs.
