Carpenter Wind Farm

Installed capacity of 196-megawatts

Project overview

Carpenter Wind Farm will be located in Jasper County, Indiana, outside of the town of Remington. The wind farm will complement the area’s sprawling corn and soybean fields, providing local farmers with a stable, drought-resistant cash crop in the form of landowner lease payments. In addition to landowner payments, Carpenter Wind Farm will generate millions of dollars in payments to local governments through the life of the project, benefiting schools, fire departments, and the township and county.

Economic benefits

Carpenter Wind Farm yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Carpenter Wind Farm is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
