Harvest Hills Wind
200 Megawatts of Clean Energy in Whitman County
Harvest Hills Wind will bring a new source of income that passes economic benefits to all parts of the community, while helping maintain ranching and farming industries and ways of life. Wind can be harvested just like any other crop. Wind energy provides an additional income stream, creating more financial security for generations to come. Wind turbines and access roads occupy a small percentage of the leased land, allowing landowners to continue growing crops or raising livestock.
The project is currently in the development phase. During this time, Steelhead and its partners are undertaking a wide array of environmental and engineering studies and analyses to prepare for construction.
Steelhead is actively meeting with landowners, community members, local government, and organizations to share information about Harvest Hills Wind. By mixing a wide spectrum of development expertise with Vestas’ leading technology, Steelhead is committed to building clean energy that benefits the local community.
