Wind projects

The following are wind energy projects that serve Wisconsin customers. A wind turbine uses moving air to create electricity. Steady winds turn the blades, which drive a generator that produces electricity. Electricity generated by utility-scale wind turbines is sent to the electric distribution network, where it replaces electricity that would otherwise have been generated by more traditional sources such as coal, oil, nuclear and natural gas.
