The Pioneer Trail Wind Farm is a 94-turbine wind farm, established in 2011, in Ford County and Iroquois County in Illinois. [1] The wind farm is headquartered in the Ford County seat of Paxton. [2]
The Pioneer Trail complex's 94 wind turbines, each rated at 1.6 mW, can generate up to 150.4 megawatts of electricity. The northeastern Illinois project was developed by E.ON Climate Renewables, a subsidiary of E.ON, which merged with RWE in 2019. [1] [3] E.ON has resold some of the power generated by Pioneer Trail to the Southern Illinois Power Cooperative. [4]
The wind farm became operational in October 2011. [3]
