August Wind Farm is an onshore wind energy facility located in the United States, specifically at coordinates 40.764900, -94.475600. The plant is operational and owned by August Wind Energy LLC, with a capacity of 1.8 megawatts, placing it in the small-scale wind farm category. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes federal incentives such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and state-level Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS). Onshore wind technology is well-established in the U.S., with many projects benefiting from production tax credits and grid interconnection policies. As a small wind farm, August Wind Farm contributes to local renewable energy generation, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The facility supports the broader transition to clean energy in the region.
Environmental context
The August Wind Farm is located in a rural area of the United States, where wind energy development is common. Onshore wind farms can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect local wildlife, particularly birds and bats. However, proper siting and mitigation measures can minimize these effects. The facility's small scale likely reduces its overall environmental footprint compared to larger wind projects.
