Project Overview
Meadow Lake Wind Farm consists of six phases and is located in northwestern Indiana in Benton and White counties, northwest of Indianapolis. The site is advantageous as a location for modern wind power electrical generation as the area is a strong, proven wind resource.
Energy Output
Meadow Lake Wind Farm has an installed capacity of 801.25 megawatts (MW) — enough to power approximately 220,000 average Indiana homes with clean energy each year.
Meadow Lake I Wind Farm consists of 121 Vestas V82 1.65 MW wind turbines, Meadow Lake II Wind Farm consists of 66 Acciona AW-82 1.5 MW wind turbines, Meadow Lake III Wind Farm consists of 69 GE sle 1.5 MW wind turbines, Meadow Lake IV Wind Farm consists of 47 Suzlon S88 2.1 MW wind turbines, Meadow Lake V Wind Farm consists of 50 Vestas V110 2 MW wind turbines, and Meadow Lake VI Wind Farm consists of 12 Vestas V110 2 MW wind turbines and 49 Vestas V136 3.6 MW wind turbines.
Meadow Lake represents a capital investment of approximately $1 billion and has disbursed $11.3 million in cumulative payments to local governments through 2019. The project created 429 full-time equivalent jobs during construction as well as 63 permanent jobs. Through 2019, approximately $65.4 million has been spent within 50 miles of the wind farm.
Meadow Lake Wind Farm is compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners. More than $51.3 million has been paid to the wind farm’s landowners through 2019. These supportive landowners participate in long-term lease and easement agreements that cover turbines, access roads, and transmission corridors.
