The wind farm was developed by [[Terra-Gen Power]] which closed a US$1.2 billion financing deal in July 2010 with partners that included [[Citibank]], [[Barclays Capital]], and [[Credit Suisse]]. After many delays, the first phase began construction in 2010. Financing for additional phases of $650 million was secured in April 2012. Construction of the Alta Wind Energy Center is expected to create more than 3,000 domestic manufacturing, construction, and maintenance jobs, and contribute more than one billion dollars to the local economy.<ref name=alta/> |
