Installed capacity of 104-megawatts of renewable energy
Project overview
Crossing Trails Wind Farm is located 20 miles south of Seibert, Colorado, on the border of Kit Carson and Cheyenne Counties. The project is sited on a combination of pasture and wheat fields and provides landowners with a stable, weather-resistant cash crop through lease payments with minimal impact on current land-use.
Crossing Trails Wind Farm yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Crossing Trails Wind Farm is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
