Tri Global starts development of 255 MW Vermilion Wind park in East Central Illinois
A 255 megawatt (MW), 15,000-acre wind project, Vermilion Wind, projected to be the largest in East Central Illinois, has commenced its development phase in Vermilion County. The wind development project is spearheaded by Tri Global Energy, which develops and owns wind, solar and energy storage projects in Illinois, Indiana, Texas, Nebraska and Virginia.
The Vermilion Wind project is located just south of the Little Vermilion River. Wind, utility interconnection, and preliminary environmental studies are underway. Development efforts are expected to continue over the next two to three years.
It is estimated that over the next 25 years, Vermilion Wind will generate approximately US$55 million dollars in landowner payments along with an estimated US$47 million in tax revenues for local schools, roads, and more. During the estimated six-to-nine-month construction phase approximately 150 full-time jobs will be created.
