The contract with Annapolis based developer Synergics includes a five-year maintenance agreement.

Nordex will begin delivering and installing the N90 2.5MW turbines in August, with completion of the project scheduled for December.

The 20 turbines will stand atop Backbone Mountain along an undeveloped ridge stretching three miles (5km) in the western corner of Maryland. It will be the state's first wind farm.
