Wind Farm Plans Must Include Decommissioning

Wind farms are popping up all across the state.  David Loomis with the Center for Renewable Energy at Illinois State University says local governments must also have a long term plan for the turbines once they've become obsolete.

 

Loomis says most counties have a financing plan with either a letter of credit or an escrow account.  He says decommissioning, siting, and taxing issues will be addressed at a Wind Farms Conference at the Marriott Hotel and Conference Center in Normal on February 8th.  The target audience for the conference is county boards.
