Brown County Wind Turbine: FAQ
- Where is Brown County Wind Turbine?
- In Brown County, Illinois (IL). The map on this page is placed at the coordinates EIA files for the plant, which locate the site rather than any individual unit.
- How big is Brown County Wind Turbine?
- 2 MW of nameplate capacity across 1 unit, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
- Who owns Brown County Wind Turbine?
- EIA-860M names Adams Electric Cooperative as the reporting entity. That is the operator of record on the survey, which is not always the ultimate owner.
- Is this the same as Brown County Wind Turbine LLC?
- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Adams Electric Cooperative here — not the project company that holds the asset. Project companies are commonly registered as an LLC carrying the plant's name, so a search for "Brown County Wind Turbine LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
- Is Brown County Wind Turbine still running?
