Lost Island Wind

Innovation and advances in wind turbine technology have allowed wind projects to expand to new regions with lower wind speeds, bringing Palo Alto County an untapped opportunity. The project will bring a new source of income that brings economic benefits to all parts of the community, while helping maintain farming ways of life - the primary industry in Palo Alto County.

Wind, like any other crop, can be harvested by farmers. Turbines generate a regular cash stream for landowners, providing a supplemental income and increased financial security. Wind turbines and access roads occupy a minimal percentage of the leased land, allowing farmers to continue growing crops or raising livestock at a wind farm site.

We are actively meeting with landowners, community members, local government, and organizations to share information about the project.
