BLUE SKY GREEN FIELD WIND PROJECT, a 145 MW Wind power plant in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. Operated by WISCONSIN ELECTRIC POWER CO, commissioned 2008.
How BLUE SKY GREEN FIELD WIND PROJECT compares
With 145 MW of capacity, BLUE SKY GREEN FIELD WIND PROJECT ranks 25th among the 141 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Wisconsin and 2nd of the 10 operating Wind plants in the state. It accounts for about 23% of Wisconsin's operating Wind capacity and 0.9% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 153rd-largest of the 708 operating Wind plants in the database. Commissioned in 2008, it is newer than 90% of the 141 operating Wisconsin plants with a recorded commissioning year. Its operator, WISCONSIN ELECTRIC POWER CO, runs 13 operating plants in Wisconsin totaling 5,238 MW. It shares Fond du Lac County with 2 other operating plants, SOUTH FOND DU LAC and CEDAR RIDGE.
EIA-860 lists 1 generator at the site with 145 MW of nameplate capacity, all onshore wind turbine technology. Net generation was 330 GWh in 2024 (a 26% capacity factor), up 3% from 2022.

Weather peril exposure
BLUE SKY GREEN FIELD WIND PROJECT is a 145 MW wind power plant in Fond du Lac County, WI, operated by WISCONSIN ELECTRIC POWER CO, commissioned in 2008. Fond du Lac County carries high modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 3.9 of 5 at the 72nd national percentile. Hail is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 78th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a wind plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
Fond du Lac County hazard ratings
| Peril | FEMA rating | National percentile | Peril score | Events per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hail | Relatively Moderate | 78th | 4.1 of 5 | 3.3 |
| Lightning | Relatively Moderate | 65th | 3.6 of 5 | 34.3 |
| Tornado | Relatively Moderate | 63rd | 3.5 of 5 | 0.51 |
| Strong wind | Relatively High | 42nd | 2.7 of 5 | 3.4 |
| Wildfire | Very Low | 41st | 2.6 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Heat wave | Relatively Low | 37th | 2.5 of 5 | 2.5 |
| Riverine flooding | Relatively Moderate | 14th | 1.6 of 5 | 0.64 |
| Earthquake | Very Low | 13th | 1.5 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Winter weather | Relatively Moderate | 4th | 1.2 of 5 | 15.1 |
| Hurricane | Very Low | 4th | 1.2 of 5 | 0.01 |
