Heritage Prairie Wind

Kankakee and Livingston County, Illinois

Heritage Prairie Wind is an energy generation project being jointly developed by Pattern Energy and Repsol Renewables North America that will provide economic benefits and jobs that will last generations. The Heritage Prairie Wind project is located in western Kankakee County and northeastern Livington County.

We build successful energy facilities by partnering with landowners and communities where we operate—understanding their needs, communicating transparently, and delivering lasting benefits to local economies.
