"At the time of Madison’s construction in 2000, the wind farm was anticipated to have an operational lifespan of 20 to 25 years,” the company’s website stated. “As of 2025, the project has come to the end of that lifespan and is no longer considered economically viable, primarily due to the current turbines being out of production, making repairs and obtaining replacement parts increasingly difficult and costly.”
