Wind power in Illinois provided nearly 10% of the state's generated electrical power in 2020 powering 1,231,900 homes. [1] At the end of 2020, Illinois had 6,300 megawatts (MW) of wind power installed, ranking fifth among states for installed wind turbine capacity. [ 2 ]
For a wind farm, the capacity factor is determined by the availability of wind, the swept area of the turbine and the size of the generator. Transmission line capacity and electricity demand also affect the capacity factor. Typical capacity factors of current wind farms are between 25 and 45%. [12] In the United Kingdom during the five year ...

The Bishop Hill Wind Farms are three Illinois wind farms containing a total of 201 turbines in Henry County. Developed in 2012 through 2018, as a complex the three wind farms have a nameplate capacity of 424.0 megawatts of electricity.
The wind farm was developed by Navitas Energy, and is now owned and operated by Leeward. [3] Energy produced at Mendota Hills is sold to Commonwealth Edison. [4] Each tower has a 2.5 megawatt capacity giving a total capacity at Mendota Hills Wind Farm of 72.6 megawatts. [1] The site produces enough power (approximately 110 million kilowatt ...
(The Center Square) – Some Illinoisans are opposed to the use of farmland for the purpose of solar and wind projects. Patricia Malcolm said a recent state law enacted by Gov. J.B. Pritzker took ...
