Wind on the

PRAIRIE

Hundreds of local hires expected for 79-turbine Dodge County wind energy implement, NextEra says By Savannah Howe With several months having passed since an update in the Herald on the Dodge County wind project, NextEra Energy has been busy in moving the 79-turbine endeavor towards the construction starting line. According to project developer Mark Lennox, NextEra is “really excited” about where the project stands now. 16 | Austin Daily Herald | Progress 2022

“... Probably the most interesting piece of news is that we’ve completed our economic analysis that was done through the University of Minnesota Extension School,” Lennox said. In October, NextEra reported some estimated numbers of what the direct economic impact of the turbine array would be. “But with the school, we’re able to have a broader picture of what those impacts are.”

“We’re really tied in at the county level with the county environmental offices. We do walkthroughs of the site plans, and we make plans on all of the impacts that the project has on the county level.” Mark Lennox NextEra Project Developer
