LAKE MILLS WIND PROJECT
About the Project
The Lake Mills Wind project is an innovative wind project proposed for Winnebago County in Iowa that will have a capacity of approximately 320 megawatts of clean, renewable energy. The Lake Mills Wind project is more than wind turbines — it represents a significant capital investment in Iowa. Once operational, it will create good-paying jobs and provide millions in additional revenue for landowners and the local community.
It is a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, the world’s largest generator of renewable energy from the wind and the sun.
