Renewable Energy

Our renewable energy mix

Our renewable energy sources generate enough energy to power more than 35,000 homes, or nearly 25% of our residential customers, per year. Learn more about our resources and efforts below.

Wind

We purchase wind power from Fowler Ridge Wind Farm and Benton County Wind Farm, both in Benton County, Indiana. The two, 20-year power purchase agreements result in about 80 megawatts (MW) of power.

Landfill gas

At a Winslow, Indiana landfill facility, we generate electricity by capturing gas emitted from decomposing trash and using it as a fuel source to power two generators. In total, about 2,000 homes can be powered by the 3.2 MW of energy generated at the facility.

Solar

We have two 2-megawatt (MW) universal solar projects in Evansville, Indiana; one on Highway 41 near North High School, which also includes 1 MW of battery storage, and another near Oak Hill Cemetery on East Morgan Ave. in partnership with the City of Evansville. When combined with a 50-MW facility scheduled to be operational by 2020, these solar projects will power more than 12,000 homes per year.
