[more]Community Energy, Inc. (CEI) is driving the demand for new wind farms nationwide. Together with our customers, partners, and parent company, Iberdrola Renewables, we help bring the benefits of wind power to more than 15 states from New England to the Rocky Mountains.
Farmers and property owners who lease their land for wind farms enjoy a steady income and experience little or no disturbance to grazing routines or farming operations. Towns and communities benefit from a larger tax base, which supports schools and local infrastructure. The development and operation of the wind project creates temporary construction jobs and long-term management jobs.
"Having four wind turbines on our land has been exciting. They are beautiful, silent, and our cattle can still use the vast majority of the land. Folks occasionally stop by to admire the windmills and ask for information. It's nice to have an extra income source, and being a part of clean, local energy production makes us proud."
