The windmills at Kinderdijk in the village of Kinderdijk, Netherlands is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A windmill is a structure that converts wind power into rotational energy using vanes called sails or blades, by tradition specifically to mill grain (), but in some parts of the English-speaking world, the term has also been extended to encompass windpumps, wind turbines, and other applications.
APHC is committed to implementing the wind projects if the wind measurements and site-specific studies demonstrate that the power plants are commercially viable. [3] Phase 1 of this project is a wind farm in Barangay Halayhayin in Pililla, Rizal, Philippines. The wind farm is being undertaken by Alternergy Wind One Corporation. [4]
A project of similar size and capacity (1,500 MW), Taurus Wind, would be directly west of Lava Ridge. Salmon Falls Wind (800 MW) would be located approximately 30 miles south of Lava Ridge. Three solar projects located just east of US 93 to the north and south of Midpoint Substation would cover 10,000 acres with a combined capacity of over ...
The project was developed by the Kansas-based firm Tradewind Energy, which previously built a strategic partnership with the Italian-controlled firm Enel Green Power North America (EGPNA) that resulted in the construction of several wind farms throughout the state, including the Smoky Hills Wind Farm.

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 ...
The 60.8 MW Kinangop Wind Park (KWP) project in Nyandarua County, Kenya. [1] was the first fully licensed, independent large-scale wind farm to reach financial close in Kenya and on completion (scheduled for Q2 2015) was due to deliver electricity derived from renewable energy to circa 150,000 Kenyan households, via KPLC and the national grid.
The Stateline Wind Farm is a wind farm located on Vansycle Ridge, which receives 16 to 18 mph (26 – 29 km/h) average wind speeds from the Columbia Gorge, on the border between Washington and Oregon in the United States. With 454 turbines, [1] it is the largest wind project in the Northwestern United States.
The project uses 56 Vestas V80 1.8 MW wind turbines [3] and produces enough electricity to power some 37,000 average Kansas homes annually. [4] As of 19 November 2008 [update] , phase II is under construction with 99 GE 1.5 MW wind turbines for an additional 148.5 MW, [ 3 ] to bring the total nameplate capacity to 249.3 MW. [ 5 ]
