Wind farm on track for March operation

The Golden Plains Wind Farm is nearly complete, following a year of construction in northwest Winnebago County and northeast Kossuth County. The 200MW wind farm is scheduled to begin commercial operation at the end of March, according to Alliant Energy.

Justin Foss, Strategic Project Manager for Alliant, says they had to work through some weather challenges, particularly in early 2019, but the project remains on track for its scheduled operation date of March 30.

Foss says the new wind farm will help Alliant provide clean energy for their customers. All energy generated by the Golden Plains Wind Farm will go on the electrical grid for Alliant customers.
