Lincoln Turbines is retired. EIA's monthly generator inventory (EIA-860M, August 2026) lists every generator at this wind plant as retired; the last one retired in October 2018. It is not counted among Wisconsin's operating plants or in any ranking on this site.
The figures below describe the plant when it ran: equipment from EIA Form 860 (2024).
The 9.2 MW is nameplate capacity: the most this plant's generators are rated to produce, not what it actually generates. EPA eGRID reports no positive net generation for it this year.
How it works
Why the numbers look like this: a turbine's output rises with roughly the cube of wind speed — double the wind, about eight times the power, up to the turbine's rated limit. That's why a wind farm's month-by-month bars swing so much, and why its capacity factor lands well below its nameplate.

Wind farms harvest kinetic energy from moving air using large rotor blades coupled to generators. Like solar, they produce zero emissions but vary with weather. Onshore wind capacity factors typically run 30–45%; offshore can exceed 50%.
