About the project
Hope Ridge Wind Project
Enel Green Power is developing a 334 MW wind project that will provide sustainable, affordable energy, benefit the local economy, and support grid resiliency for Dickinson County, Kansas residents.
There are several key ways the Hope Ridge Wind Project will generate benefits for Dickinson County:
- The Hope Ridge Wind Project is estimated to provide tens of millions in local tax revenue
- This project will create jobs in Dickinson County during and after construction to maintain the facility
- Hope Ridge Wind Project will generate zero polluting emissions, protecting local habitats and promoting clean air and water
Throughout every project, our team collaborates one-on-one with landowners and local officials to create projects that generate value for the entire community. Enel Green Power is one of the largest wind operators in Kansas, with over a decade of experience supporting rural communities across the state. Our project development team is based in Lenexa, Kansas.
