The Dry Lake Wind Power Project in Navajo County is the first utility-scale wind farm in the U.S. state of Arizona. Starting in 2009, it was constructed in two phases having a total generating capacity of 128.1 megawatts (MW), and is selling the electricity to the Salt River Power District (SRP).
Mesa Power placed an order for 667 wind turbines from General Electric — the world's largest wind turbine order for a single location. The first phase of the project, 1000 MW, was planned to go online before 2011 before the project was halted. [1] [2] Lease payments for the land used by the turbines were expected to cost $65 million a year ...
2023-2024: Mesa Repower and Alta Mesa Repower combined to replace 620 aging wind turbine in the hills west of the Whitewater River with thirteen new ones. [ 22 ] [ 23 ] All of these 2020-era repowering efforts installed Vestas V112 or V117 wind turbines, producing between 3.0 and 4.3 MW, the largest blade reaching 492 feet above the ground.
When completed, this will be the largest wind project in the western hemisphere. [2] The wind project is paired with SunZia Transmission, a 550-mile 3-gigawatt HVDC transmission line (890 km) to carry the power to Arizona and California. SunZia Wind and Transmission are owned by the privately held American company Pattern Energy. The project ...

In 2007, PCW installed 10 test turbines to test and verify the wind resources in the proposed area. [8] With this project, Wyoming is following the footsteps of Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas in taking advantage of its substantial wind resources.
The Maryland Offshore Wind Project could see 114 wind turbines, four offshore substation platforms and up to four offshore export cable corridors built about 11.5 miles (18.5 kilometers) off that ...
A state initiative to upgrade the transmission out of Tehachapi (the 4.5 GW Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project) began in 2008 and was completed by 2016. [5] This has opened the door to further regional wind power development up to 10 GW, [6] and multiple solar and storage projects are expected to be installed to utilize that capacity. [7]
