About the Project
The Red Rock Wind Energy Center is a proposed 300-megawatt (MW) wind power generation facility in Emmet, Dickinson, and Clay Counties, Iowa. Wind energy is clean, renewable power from one of the oldest known energy sources, and today is one of the most affordable. Throughout the life of the project, the Red Rock Wind Energy Center is projected to pay more than $241 millions in property taxes, lease payments to landowners, and salaries to employees, resulting in a significant increase in economic activity in Emmet, Dickinson, and Clay Counties and surrounding communities. Local schools and county infrastructure will also benefit from the increase in tax revenue.
In total, Invenergy has built and contracted 17 projects in the state. With the addition of Red Rock Wind Energy Center we will assist the clean energy transition, helping the state of Iowa to reach it's 100% renewable energy goal by 2035.

Jobs
At peak construction, the Red Rock Wind Energy Center is expected to
support up to 300 construction jobs. Once operational, the project will employ up to 8 additional full-time operations and maintenance (O&M) staff.
Expanding Community Engagement
We believe in putting communities first. The Red Rock team has participated in various programs within Emmet, Dickinson, and Clay Counties, committing to these communities through fundraisers, sponsorships, memberships, events and more. We hope to further our impact both locally and statewide, building positive community partnerships and impactful engagement.
Local Economic Impact
The Red Rock Wind Energy Center would provide up to $241 million in capital investment to the surrounding communities throughout the life of the project, leading to impactful social and economic benefits in the area.
Providing a new significant source of income for landowners, the Red Rock Wind Energy Center will provide millions in land costs and lease payments over the estimated project lifetime.
