This combination is crucial for successful wind energy development projects that deliver low cost energy to customers across America. Our farmer-founded philosophy ensures our wind energy projects are designed with a primary focus on the concerns of our landowners, farmers, and community members, which sets our projects up for long-term success throughout the development, construction and operation phases.
