Shirley Wind is a wind farm in the Shirley section of Glenmore, Brown County, Wisconsin. The site, which opened in 2011, includes eight Nordex 2.5 (MW) wind turbines, each about 500 feet (150 m) tall. Originally developed by Emerging Energies LLC, it is owned by Duke Energy. When the wind farm was built, the turbines were the tallest in the state of Wisconsin, and among the tallest in North America. Following a study conducted in 2013, the Brown County Board of Health declared the Shirley Wind Farm a “human health hazard” in 2014. In 2015 the Brown County Health Director Chua Xiong said that there was insufficient scientific evidence to link wind turbines to illnesses experienced by residents.
