Installed capacity of 98-megawatts of renewable energy
Project overview
Quilt Block Wind Farm is located 50 miles from Madison in southwestern Wisconsin. Located entirely in Seymour Township, Lafayette County, the wind farm complements the area’s sprawling corn, wheat, and soybean fields, providing local farmers with a stable, drought- resistant cash crop in the form of landowner lease payments.
Quilt Block Wind Farm yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Quilt Block Wind Farm is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
