Uplands Wind

Lafayette, Iowa, and Grant Counties

Uplands Wind will provide economic benefits and jobs that will last generations. Power generated at the facility will connect to the region’s electric grid and help diversify the energy supply.

Our approach to building successful facilities is to work closely with residents in a way that is respectful and fits the needs of the landowners and communities that host us. We seek to build partnerships and bring long-term benefits to where we operate. We prioritize relationship building and open communication and aim to address and incorporate feedback, and further local benefits.

  • Uplands Wind represents an investment of a $1 billion that will provide widespread direct and indirect job creation and economic benefits.

  • The facility is projected to provide on average $2.4 million per year to local communities, totaling $72 million over the first 30 years.

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

    450–600 construction jobs including equipment operators, electricians, laborers, and many other types of contractors

    7-12 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.
