Macksburg Wind Project: FAQ

Where is Macksburg Wind Project?
In Madison County, Iowa (IA). 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 Macksburg Wind Project?
120 MW of nameplate capacity across 1 unit, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
Who owns Macksburg Wind Project?
EIA-860M names MidAmerican Energy Co 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 Macksburg Wind Project LLC?
Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — MidAmerican Energy Co 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 "Macksburg Wind Project LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
Is Macksburg Wind Project still running?
