Project overview
Carpenter Wind is located in Jasper County, Indiana, outside of the town of Remington. The wind site complements the area’s sprawling corn and soybean fields, providing local farmers with a stable, drought-resistant cash crop in the form of landowner lease payments. In addition to landowner payments, Carpenter Wind generates millions of dollars.
Economic benefits
Carpenter Wind yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Carpenter Wind is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
