The Rolling Prairie
Wind Project
Helping to Propel Kansas's Economy
The Rolling Prairie Wind Project is a proposed 255-megawatt wind energy project to be located in Osborne County, Kansas. Once constructed, the project will support Osborne County's economy and local communities by generating tens of millions of dollars in new tax revenue as well as creating hundreds of construction jobs and long-term service operation careers.
This project is under development by Steelhead Americas, the North American development arm of Vestas, the world’s largest wind turbine manufacturer and leading service provider.

Health & Well-Being
Wind farms are a safe and effective means of generating electricity, and we ensure that clean power is delivered diligently through proper siting, construction, and management practices.
Environment
Compared to other forms of energy production, wind farms have among the fewest environmental impacts. We conduct studies and work with local agencies to site projects in a way that minimizes impacts to wildlife & the environment.
Property Value
According to multiple peer-reviewed studies, wind projects have no significant long-term impact on property values.
Decommissioning
Wind farms provide reliable energy to households and businesses for approximately 30 years. At the end of a project’s life, turbines are removed safely, responsibly, and sustainably, and the impacted land is restored to its former state.
Project Overview
Rolling Prairie has the potential to bring hundreds of new construction jobs and tens of millions of dollars in new investment to Osborne County.
