The wind power project consists 34 of the 40 GE 1.5MW turbines installed at the project site situated in the towns of Lincoln, Burlington, Lee, Winn and Mattawamkeag.

The Rollins power project received approval from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection on 21 April 2009.

On 7 October 2009, the Maine Public Utilities Commission approved a 20-year electricity supply contract to purchase the renewable energy generated from the Rollins wind facility.

First Wind Northeast Business Development vice president Matt Kearns said the wind facility is operational, it will produce enough renewable energy to power nearly 23,000 Maine homes per year.

"It will also continue to contribute to the local economy by delivering a total of $24 million in tax revenues to the four neighboring communities over a 30-year period while generating regional business activity through our ongoing operations on the project site," Kearns said.
