Red Rock Wind Energy, based in north central Iowa, was formed in 2008 specifically for the purpose of developing a wind project located in Emmet and Dickinson Counties, Iowa.

The local community’s financial strength stands behind the Red Rock Wind Energy. The main objective of the project is to keep a substantial amount of its economic benefits in the community.

National Wind is the project developer and wind consultant. National Wind is also an investor in Red Rock Wind Energy.

Wind Energy: United States and Iowa

Wind energy is the fastest growing source of power generation in the country. Wind offers a clean, limitless, low-cost energy solution for electricity generation.

Federal policy efforts continue to drive wind developments across the country and in Iowa. Iowa leads the Midwest in wind energy production, making it the nation’s third largest producer of electricity from wind.

Iowa is also the only state that offers a state production tax credit to community wind projects, which can be applied toward the state's personal income tax, business tax, financial institutions tax, or sales and use tax. Red Rock Wind will apply for and anticipates receiving this tax credit.

Mission Statement

Red Rock Wind Energy exists to produce and develop wind projects which are sustainable and environmentally responsible for generations to come. Red Rock Wind Energy’s financial commitment is to create a thriving resource for the local economy, assuring a majority of the project’s financial benefits are shared with its local members, area landowners, and the surrounding community.
