Wind power in Wells County
Apex Wind Energy’s wind farm project in Wells County will begin in the spring. The wind farm will consist of eighty-seven turbines. It looks like they will be using 1.8 MW turbines, forming a 156.6 MW farm. This means the Wells County wind farm will add 10% to Indiana’s Net Summer Renewable Capacity. With a pessimistic estimate of the capacity factor, this wind farm can be expected to replace at least 0.2% of Indiana’s coal use.
