About Black Maple Wind

Apex Clean Energy is exploring the feasibility of constructing Black Maple Wind, a wind energy project expected to generate up to 400 megawatts of clean, homegrown energy. Local wind data confirms that the area under consideration is ideal for a project of this size, which will produce enough energy to power up to 152,000 U.S. homes every year.

Apex is working with local landowners, community leaders, and various stakeholders on the project and welcomes input into the planning process. Located in Taylor County, the project site has these key attributes:

• Verified wind resource
• Expansive private land
• Existing high-voltage transmission lines
• Minimizes environmental impacts

Benefits of Black Maple Wind

• Hundreds of jobs and significant local spending during construction
• Up to 15 full-time local jobs for operations and maintenance
• Taxpayers protected against decommissioning costs
• 30 years of annual revenue for county, local landowners, and local schools, totaling millions of dollars
