Projects that Put Community First

The Empire Prairie Wind and Solar Projects are committed to creating a positive impact. These cutting-edge technology projects will generate reliable, affordable energy and infuse millions of dollars into the local economy through construction and long-term maintenance while strengthening employment and benefitting public services.

Reliable power means having electricity available the moment it's needed. ENGIE is exploring the addition of battery storage to the Empire Prairie Wind and Solar Projects, a technology that stores energy when it's plentiful and releases it during the hours of highest demand.

Over their lifetime, these sustainable projects will co-exist with the region's agricultural heritage and create new opportunities for future generations.

Why Renewable Energy?

Demand for renewable energy has grown dramatically, with more than 200 companies worldwide committing to go 100% renewable. Solar and wind energies are clean, reliable, and affordable, helping communities emerge sustainably into the future. 

What are Battery Energy Storage Systems?

Battery Energy Storage Systems support a reliable grid through instantaneous deployment of power whenever it is needed the most. They store electricity when it is plentiful and return it to the grid when demand climbs, which pairs naturally with wind and solar generation. This helps prevent price spikes during peak demand periods and creates a more secure, reliable grid.

Where Will the Power Generated From the Project Go?

The power from Empire Prairie Wind and Solar Projects will be delivered to the local Missouri electrical grid, helping to diversify Missouri’s energy portfolio and reduce its reliance on electricity generated in other states.
