About Emerson Creek Wind
Developed by Apex Clean Energy, Emerson Creek Wind is a wind energy project currently in construction for rural Huron and Erie Counties in Ohio. Apex has spent many years working with interested landowners and community members to design a project that complements the region's agricultural roots and fosters new economic development.
Emerson Creek Wind offers an opportunity to address Ohio’s growing electricity demand with clean domestic energy, while diversifying the local farm economy. The project 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.
