In May 2010, iCAP was completed with the following goals (for the wind project):

• Goal is to eventually make the U of I carbon neutral by 2050
• Describes a path toward the fulfillment of the commitment of the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (signed by University in 2008)
• Among the commitment the University is making in order to achieve carbon neutrality goal is renewable energy
• Target: “Strive to meet the requirements for renewable energy generation in the ILRPS both on campus (priority) and off campus (if necessary) as follows:
  • 5 percent of total campus energy from renewable sources by fiscal year 2015
  • 17.5 percent of total campus energy from renewable sources by fiscal year 2020
  • 25 percent of total campus energy from renewable sources by fiscal year 2025
  • End coal usage at Abbott Power Plant by 2017”
• Among the 5 strategies to do this: “Install at least three utility-scale wind turbines on the south campus, with a minimum of one to be installed by 2011”
