Installed capacity of 199-megawatts of renewable energy
Project overview
Waverly Wind Farm is located on pasture and cropland in east central Kansas. The project is just south of the town of Waverly and 30 miles east of Emporia, in Coffey County. The project complements the area’s mixed agricultural landscape, providing local farmers with a stable, weather-resistant cash crop in the form of landowner lease payments.
Waverly Wind Farm yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Waverly Wind Farm is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
