Project overview:
Whispering Willow East Wind Farm has been generating renewable energy in Franklin County, Iowa, since 2009. As one of our three wind farms in Franklin County, Whispering Willow East plays an important role in our balanced energy mix and delivers long-term economic benefits for local communities.
