Installed capacity of 200 megawatts (MW)
Project overview
Sweet Acres Wind Farm is north of Wolcott, Indiana. The wind farm will complement the area’s flat agricultural fields with high yielding corn and soy beans, providing farmers with a stable, weather-resistant cash crop in the form of landowner lease payments.
Sweet Acres Wind Farm yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Sweet Acres Wind Farm is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
