Alliant Energy has completed its 130-megawatt Richland Wind Farm in Sac County, Iowa, adding 1,000 megawatts of the company’s wind production in the state.
Construction of the Richland Wind Farm began in July 2019 and was completed several months ahead of schedule and within budget, according to Alliant, which is now the third-largest utility owner-operator of regulated wind in the United States.
The now operational wind farm is among five wind projects across seven counties in the state, which collectively are expected to power 430,000 Iowa homes.
“By continuing to advance cost-effective and clean energy, our customers, the communities we serve and the environment will benefit for decades to come,” said Terry Kouba, president of Alliant Energy’s Iowa energy company. “Investing in renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, is one more way that our purpose — to serve customers and build strong communities — comes to life.”
