FPL Energy Crystal Lake Wind LLC is a 150 MW onshore wind turbine plant in Hancock County. Crystal Lake is a 150 MW wind facility in Hancock County, Iowa, owned by NextEra Energy Resources and originally built by FPL Energy. The first phase of the Crystal Lake windfarm began commercial operation in 2008 with GE turbines built by D.H. Blattner and Sons. The Indiana Municipal Power Agency agreed in 2008 to buy up to 50 MW a year from the Crystal Lake Wind Energy Center. NextEra completed a repowering of the facility as part of a $250 million program to repower four Iowa wind facilities.
