About

Uplands Wind will be located around northwest Lafayette County and southwest Iowa County in Wisconsin.  Developed by Pattern Energy, the wind project will provide economic benefits and jobs that will last generations.

The Uplands Wind project represents a roughly $1 billion investment within Iowa and Lafayette Counties.  Throughout development, construction, and operations, residents can expect to see widespread direct and indirect job creations and economic investment. 

Under Wisconsin's revenue sharing formula, every megawatt (MW) of power that is built pays $1,667 into its township and $2,333 into its county annually for a total of $4,000 per MW per year.  The 600 MW project would provide on average more than $2.4 million per year to local communities.

The stable, long-term funding may directly contribute to improved quality of education, services, roads, and first responder capabilities for the community.
