Heritage Prairie Wind

Kankakee and Livingston County, Illinois

Heritage Prairie Wind is an energy generation project being jointly developed by Pattern Energy and Repsol Renewables North America that will provide economic benefits and jobs that will last generations. The Heritage Prairie Wind project is located in western Kankakee County and northeastern Livington County.

We build successful energy facilities by partnering with landowners and communities where we operate—understanding their needs, communicating transparently, and delivering lasting benefits to local economies. 

01 /

  • Heritage Prairie Wind is an investment of a $2.1 billion in the Kankakee and Livingston County economy. 

  • The facility is projected to provide $175 million in new tax revenues to Kankakee and Livingston Counties over the life of the project.

  • The project will utilize local companies, services, materials, and create jobs.

    More than 330 construction jobs including equipment operators, electricians, laborers, and many other types of contractors.

    12–16 full-time local jobs to operate and maintain the facility.

     

  • Millions of dollars will be spent locally on lodging, food services, gas, groceries, and other services.

We are involved in community giving throughout the life of our projects. Acting as a good neighbor benefits both the communities where we develop and the long-term success of our facilities. A Community Benefits Program will support the local economy and ensure benefits to the region have a lasting impact through sponsorships and donations.
