The Altamont Pass wind farm is located in the Altamont Pass of the Diablo Range in Northern California. It is one of the earliest wind farms in the United States. The first wind turbines were placed on the Altamont in the early 1980s by Fayette Manufacturing Corporation, on land owned by cattle rancher Joe Jess. [1] The wind farm is composed of ...
The proposed project would replace the 460 existing wind turbines with 30 new turbines in two phases. Phase 1 would remove approximately 74 non-operational turbines and install up to fifteen new 1.5 MW GE SLE wind turbines. Phase 2 would remove approximately 384 Vestas V15 65kW turbines and install an additional fifteen 1.5 MW GE SLE wind turbines.
[22] [23] [21] In 2016, California used about 285,700 GWh [24] and generated 13,500 GWh of wind energy in state. [25] Wind energy supplied about 6.9% of California's total electricity needs in 2017 (including power supplied from other states in this case), [5] and 7.35% in 2019. By the end of 2019, installed wind generation capacity increased ...
