Benton County, Indiana
Amazon Wind Farm Fowler Ridge is a 150 MW facility helping Amazon Web Services achieve the goal of powering its operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025.
Amazon Wind partners with the Benton Community Foundation to contribute to local initiatives and gives back to the region through sponsorships and donations. The mission of Benton Community Foundation is to enhance community through civic leadership, philanthropy, and charitable economic development initiatives.
Amazon Wind’s yearlong construction period concluded in 2016 and entailed 300 workers during peak activity. Nine on-site personnel operate and maintain the facility.
The site utilizes 65 Siemens Gamesa 2.3 MW wind turbines, with the blades manufactured in Iowa, nacelles from Kansas, and turbine towers fabricated in Wisconsin by Broadwind and in Michigan by Ventower.
Compared to coal-fired generation, its annual production conserves enough water to meet the needs of 8,000 people and avoids carbon dioxide emissions equal to taking 110,000 cars off the roads each year.
