Wind energy is a key part of our diverse energy mix.
It allows us to deliver safe, reliable, affordable energy to nearly 600,000 homes without emitting greenhouse gases. In addition, wind provides significant economic benefits to our customers and the communities we serve.
- Project construction creates good paying jobs and stimulates local economies.
- Landowners who lease land for wind projects receive annual payments for the duration of the project life, about 30 years.
- Communities with wind projects receive tax incentives they can use as they deem appropriate. Some communities use funds to build infrastructure, renovate public buildings and make improvements to local emergency response services.
Wind energy is part of our plans to accelerate our transition to renewable energy and diversify our energy mix across Iowa and Wisconsin. Find additional information about our plans in our Clean Energy Blueprint.
