In this nation more than others, "windmill" is often used to refer to what are properly termed windpumps bringing up water for agriculture. This is at least partly due to usage by windpump builders Eclipse Windmill Company (1873) and Aermotor Windmill Company (1888, the sole surviving US "windmill" manufacturer [ 1 ] ).
Twin Groves Wind Farm is a wind farm in the U.S. state of Illinois, near the villages of Arrowsmith, Saybrook, and Ellsworth in McLean County. It consists of 240 operating wind turbines. [1] Each wind turbine stands 280 ft (80 m) tall and has three 120-foot-long (39 m) blades. The wind farm was constructed from 2007 to February 2008.
In 2019, the wind farm reduced the number of turbines to 29, but increased the nameplate capacity to 76 MW. [2] The turbine towers are spread out over 2,200 acres (890 ha) of Lee County, Illinois, near the village of Paw Paw and adjacent to Interstate 39. The wind farm was developed by Navitas Energy, and is now owned and operated by Leeward. [3]
