Installed capacity of 199-megawatts of renewable energy
Project overview
Prairie Queen Wind Farm is located in northeastern Allen County, near the cities of Moran and La Harpe. The project complements the area’s mixed agricultural landscape, providing local farmers with a stable, drought-resistant cash crop in the form of landowner lease payments.
Prairie Queen Wind Farm yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Prairie Queen Wind Farm is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
