In 2005, project developer InvestEnergyGroup and EPC contractor Blattner Energy constructed and commissioned the first 142 GE 1.5-megawatt turbines.
Finally, before the year was out NextEra worked with contractor Tetra-Tech to install 2 more GE 1.5-megawatt turbines in the phase referred to as "Horse Hollow Expansion".
Plaintiffs in the area of the wind farm, many of whom live on 100–700-acre (40–283 ha) properties, originally filed suit in June 2005, as they disliked the appearance of the turbines.
The complaints then shifted to the sound created by the turbines, and extensive noise measurements were made.
The jury found that the wind farm did not create a "private nuisance", as was charged, and they made no award to the plaintiffs.
