Installed capacity of 300-megawatts of renewable energy
Project overview
Top Crop Wind Farm consists of two phases and converts the wind blowing over the Cayuga Ridge into clean electricity. Located just northwest of Pontiac, the wind farm includes parts of Grundy and LaSalle Counties.
Top Crop Wind Farm yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Top Crop Wind Farm is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
