The images below illustrate potential locations for Windfarms in the Peoria Metro area. The lighter color is better, usually because it is on higher ground. Western United States locations have more wind, but are farther from the market.

There is a very large Windfarm on I-39 north of I-80. You can see that the area is the same color as areas on the outskirts of metropolitan Peoria.
