Matt Tilus is communications manager with E. ON Energy and indicates the farm features 139 wind turbines across parts of Macon County. As the project continues this summer, all foundations are in and the true look of the turbines are starting to take shape.

 

 

According to Tilus, the environmental impacts of the wind farm are significant. He explains when running at full capacity, the wind farm can power 90-thousand homes.

 

 

The turbines will start to come online as construction continues. Tulis notes they are expecting the farm to be running at full capacity by the end of the year.
