The following table of wind farms and utility-scale wind power developments uses data from the AWEA,[33] the State of Indiana,[34] and other sources. For the larger projects constructed in phases, the table lists separate information for each phase. The name of each wind farm is the name used by the energy company when referring to the farm. The "Wind Farm" suffix is implied and hence removed for brevity. For more details and references for each wind farm, see its article.
