Investing in Illinois

By harnessing the power of the sun and the wind, EDPR NA is investing in technologies that are supporting local Illinois economies while building our U.S. power grid to be stronger and more secure for every American. Our statewide footprint includes: Top Crop, Rail Splitter, Bright Stalk, Twin Groves, Harvest Ridge, Hickory Solar, and Wolf Run.

The income from the wind farm is very stable...a lot of the income that we've received has gone back into the land. It's improved our farmland so we can grow more corn and soybeans."
