As part of our commitment to helping make our environment cleaner, CWLP has entered into two 10-year contracts with NextEra Energy Resources, LLC (formerly FPL Energy, LLC) for the purchase of 120 megawatts (MW) of wind power. This green energy is being produced at the Hancock County and Crystal Lake Wind Farms, both of which are located in Northern Iowa. Click here for photos of these wind farms.

The purchase of 20 MW of wind-generated energy from Hancock County commenced in July 2007 and the purchase of 100 MW of wind energy from Crystal Lake commenced in November 2008. Utility officials estimate CWLP's total wind power purchases over a full year will produce enough renewable energy to supply the equivalent of about 18% of CWLP's native energy requirements.
