Wind energy brings Hoosiers a host of economic benefits at the state and local level, boosting job creation and contributing immensely to the local tax base.
Indiana ranks 12th in the nation for installed wind energy capacity, and wind energy produces 9.4% of all electricity in the state. These projects provide a secure, local source of energy, save water, and reduce residents’ exposure to harmful pollutants like nitrous oxides and sulfur dioxide.
Wind energy also brings considerable economic growth to the states and localities that host projects. Total wind energy investment in Indiana to date is over $6.8 billion. ACP also estimates annual state and local tax payments of $23.4 million and annual land lease payments of $22 million.
