Iowa Winds has been conducting meterological studies in southern Franklin County since 2002. The studies have produced promising results for the construction of a wind farm. Land owners in the project area have been an integral part in the wind farm development. One-hundred-ninety-three landowners in Franklin County have expressed interest in being a part of the wind farm, and subsequently have signed up over 40,000 acres under wind farm option agreements with Iowa Winds.
The Franklin County Wind Farm will bring great benefits to landowners and Franklin County residents alike. Iowa Winds is excited to bring an additional renewable energy project to central Iowa.
