The wind turbine is anticipated to generate around 2.5 million kWh per annum.
The project also received grant of $375,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development and grant of $150,000 from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation.
Our members have voiced great support for this renewable energy project, says David Stuva, president and chief executive officer of RECC. We want to do our part to promote the technology and show that wind power can work in this part of the state, even though it provides just a small part of our energy needs. Every bit is important, though, and the GobNob turbine will continue to benefit our members and the entire state for many years to come.
