Is Wisconsin a good place for wind energy?

Wisconsin has enough wind blow across our land every year to power the state four times over. Wind energy in Wisconsin means low-cost power, jobs for construction workers, financial benefits to local communities and farmers, and a supply chain of Wisconsin companies building parts for projects all over the country.

What region of Wisconsin is most suitable for wind turbines?

The best sites for wind potential in Wisconsin are found along Lake Michigan and Superior, where average wind speeds may reach 14 miles per hour (see Estimated Wind Power Energy Potential (at 70 meters) and Existing Wind Development Locations, 2015).

Do wind turbines hurt property values?

According to our research, an overwhelming majority of Realtors says that wind turbines negatively impact property value. They estimate the range of impact to be from a 10% price reduction to being completely unsellable.

Are there any wind turbines in Wisconsin?

There are 10 wind projects in Wisconsin that are presently generating electricity for utility use. Combined, these projects contain 437 wind turbines and total 737 MW. With today’s wind turbines, one MW in Wisconsin produces enough electricity to offset consumption from about 350 typical Wisconsin homes.

Who owns the wind turbines in Wisconsin?

Forward Energy Center, owned by MGE, Alliant Energy and Wisconsin Public Service Corp, was built in 2008 in Dodge and Fond du Lac counties in Wisconsin by Invenergy Wind LLC. MGE receives approximately 16 MW of the 130 MW of electricity produced by this wind farm annually.

Where are the largest wind farms in Wisconsin?

Blue Sky Green Field Wind Energy Center is a wind farm in northeast Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. The 10,600-acre (4,300 ha) facility is located in the towns of Calumet and Marshfield. Owned by We Energies, it became the largest operating installation using wind power in Wisconsin when it came online in 2008.

How close can wind turbines be to houses?

The distance between the ground and the lowest part of the wind turbine blade needs to exceed 5m. A minimum of 5m needs to be between your turbine and the boundary of your property. The swept area of a building mounted wind turbine cannot exceed 3.8m.

How loud is a wind turbine?

The closest that a wind turbine is typically placed to a home is 300 meters or more. At that distance, a turbine will have a sound pressure level of 43 decibels. To put that in context, the average air conditioner can reach 50 decibels of noise, and most refrigerators run at around 40 decibels.
