The Casselman Wind Power Project is a wind farm in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, with 23 GE 1.5 MW Wind Turbines that began commercial operation in 2007. The wind farm has a combined total nameplate capacity of 34.5 megawatts , but actually produces about 90,666 megawatt-hours of electricity annually. [ 1 ]
This is a list of the onshore wind farms that are larger than 250 MW in current nameplate capacity. Many of these wind farms have been built in stages, and construction of a further stage may be continuing at some of these sites. The Gansu Wind Farm in China is the largest wind farm in the world, with a target capacity of 20,000 MW by 2020.

India has the fifth largest installed wind power capacity in the world. [96] As of 31 March 2014, the installed capacity of wind power was 21136.3 MW mainly spread across Tamil Nadu state (7253 MW). [97] [98] Wind power accounts nearly 8.5% of India's total installed power generation capacity, and it generates 1.6% of the country's power.
Laws passed by the Oregon Legislative Assembly in 1999 and 2007 have aimed to encourage both small and large wind projects. Oregon passed a net metering law in 1999 that helped encourage installation of small wind power systems. [2] As of 2008, a handful of Oregonians have installed small-scale wind-power systems to reduce their carbon ...
A NYISO study conducted in 2010, Growing Wind: Final Report of the NYISO 2010 Wind Generation Study (Sept. 2010), found that the New York power system will allow for the integration of up to 8,000 MW of wind generation with no adverse reliability impacts. At higher levels of wind generation, due to increased variability, the analysis determined ...
Wind energy lease areas off the southern coasts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island as of October 2022. Cape Wind was an offshore wind farm that would have produced 450 MW, enough electricity to power nearly 420,000 homes using 130 wind turbines, [12] The project made its first federal filings in 2001, and faced a lengthy federal, state, and municipal permitting processes and considerable local ...
Flat Ridge 1 was fully online by the middle of 2009, and is operated and maintained by BP's AE Power Services. [6] Flat Ridge 2 was initially developed by BP Alternative Energy for a capacity of 419.2 MW, and was then expanded by 51.2 MW to meet further demand. [7] [8] This phase consists of 294 GE 1.6 MW wind turbines. [9]
