Wind Energy

Because of new technological advances and increased affordability, wind power is Iowa's and the world's fastest growing renewable resource.

Iowa has more than 740 wind turbines with total nameplate capacity of 637 MW. This is enough power to generate electricity for more than 167,000 homes per year and offset more than 1.6 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
