Installed capacity of 205-megawatts of renewable energy
Project overview
Bright Stalk Wind Farm is located 20 miles northeast of Bloomington-Normal, Illinois. Located entirely within McLean County, the wind farm includes farmland in the Chenoa, Yates, and Lawndale townships. The project complements the area’s corn and soybean fields, providing local farmers with a stable, weather resistant cash crop in the form of landowner lease payments.
Bright Stalk Wind Farm yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Bright Stalk Wind Farm is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
