Shared Success
Community and economic benefits:
Twin Groves Wind Farm yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. It is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
Wind turbines have a limited footprint, leaving 98% of the project’s leased land available for farming, or wildlife habitat.
