INTRODUCING EMERSON CREEK WIND
Apex Clean Energy is exploring the feasibility of constructing Emerson Creek Wind, a wind energy project in rural Huron and Erie Counties in Ohio.
This website features information about wind energy, Emerson Creek Wind, and important upcoming events. Please use this site to send us feedback, ask questions, and stay up to date on project news and developments as the project moves forward.
ABOUT EMERSON CREEK WIND
Emerson Creek Wind could offer an opportunity to address Ohio’s growing electricity demand and replace the energy from the announced numerous fossil fuel plant closings in the Midwest with clean domestic energy, while diversifying Huron and Erie Counties' economies and supporting the rural farm community.
The proposed Emerson Creek project is located south of Bellevue.

AN ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR HURON AND ERIE COUNTIES
Emerson Creek will create jobs and generate an entirely new source of long-term revenue for local schools, governments, and landowners. In the long term, the project promises to bring sustained tax revenue to the county for the local government and schools, as well as 30 years of local purchasing, employment, and investment. Farmers who host turbines on their property and other participating landowners will also receive annual community lease payments. These payments will continue over the projected 30-year lifespan of the wind farm, injecting millions of dollars into the economies of Erie and Huron Counties to support local merchants, contractors, and equipment suppliers.
