Zero Emission Energy


NE Wind Farms


Utility-scale wind farms generate hundreds of megawatts of clean power, feeding the grid while reducing dependence on fossil fuels and supporting U.S. renewable energy goals. Often paired with battery storage and, in some regions, solar farms, they improve grid reliability, enable microgrid resilience, and strengthen the foundation for widespread electrification.

Feeding directly into the grid, these wind projects reduce reliance on fossil fuels, help meet NE state and national renewable portfolio targets, and provide long-term stability for electrification efforts. Increasingly, wind farms are co-located with battery energy storage systems (BESS) and solar farms, creating hybrid renewable hubs that improve grid reliability and maximize land use. They also play an important role in microgrid deployments, offering resilient local power for communities, industries, and critical infrastructure.
