The Hoopeston Wind Farm is a 49-turbine wind farm in northern Vermilion County in Illinois.[1] Investment capital for the project was organized by IKEA, which did so to earn clean-energy tax credits for the stores that it operates. IKEA hired Apex Clean Energy to build the complex.[2]
The Hoopeston complex's 49 wind turbines, each rated at 2.0 mW, can generate up to 98.0 megawatts of electricity. The Hoopeston-area project was constructed by Apex Clean Energy,[1] and became operational in 2015.[2]
