Construction of Wind Turbines In Chickasaw County to Begin Next Spring

Construction of a wind turbine operation in rural Chickasaw County is set to begin next spring.

The Chickasaw Wind Energy Center is a project of Invenergy, headquartered in Chicago. Company representatives recently gave an update to the County’s Board of Supervisors.

Invenergy’s Isaac Lamppa says they’re working to finalize the turbine sites.

Lamppa says they hope to know exact locations of turbines and underground transmission lines by the end of this year. 

Asked if the company is considering additional wind turbines in the future, Lamppa said a phase 2 isn’t likely if phase 1 isn’t successful.

Lamppa says construction will begin next spring with completion targeted by the end of 2023.
