The Fowler Ridge Wind Farm is a wind farm in Benton County, Indiana, near the city of Fowler, IN about 30 miles (48 km) northwest of Lafayette and 90 miles (140 km) northwest of Indianapolis. Fowler Ridge was developed and is jointly owned by BP and Dominion Resources. The project was constructed in two phases and has a nameplate capacity of 600 MW.
Fowler Ridge was the second utility-scale wind power plant in Indiana, after the 130.5 MW Goodland I Wind Farm (also in Benton County) which came online in 2008. Some of the wind turbines are visible from US-52, the main highway through the County. They are also visible along US-41 in the Boswell area.
