What you should know about wind energy

Land-based wind energy is currently the largest source of clean power generation in the United States. Our wind projects help generate economic stability through family-sustaining job creation, landowner payments and tax revenues, all while producing cleaner, more reliable and affordable homegrown energy.

  1. 1 Turbines spin to generate electricity. Turbines can adjust depending on wind direction.
  2. 2 Transformer increases voltage of electricity.
  3. 3 Electricity travels through transmission lines.
  4. 4 Transformer decreases voltage of electricity.
  5. 5 Electricity travels through collection lines.
  6. 6 Electricity is delivered to customers.
