BROOKSTON — A wind farm capable of generating enough power to light 60,000 average Indiana homes will be dedicated Thursday in northwestern Indiana.

State lawmakers and local officials will gather near the town of Brookston for Horizon Wind Energy LLC's ribbon-cutting to commemorate the Meadow Lake I Wind Farm's start of operations.

The wind farm about 75 miles north of Indianapolis is owned and operated by Horizon. Its 121 wind turbines give it a capacity to generate 200 megawatts of power.

The wind farm is the first of a three-phase project planned by Horizon. Phase two is under construction and has a proposed capacity of 99 megawatts.

Horizon Wind Energy has more than 20 wind farms across the nation.
