As of June 2003, plans for expanding the facility with 33 additional units were underway. [2] The wind farm is owned by Beech Ridge Energy, LLC, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chicago-based Invenergy, LLC. [3] It is being built on land owned by MeadWestvaco. [4]
The wind farm's original construction schedule had phase I built between 2016 and 2019 and phase II from 2022–2023. [21] As of 2019, the wind farm was scheduled to be completed by 2026. There will be a transmission line to serve California. [22] It could help that state achieve its renewable energy targets by 2030. [10] [23]
The wind farm is composed of 4,930 [2] relatively small wind turbines of various types, making it at one time the largest wind farm in the world in terms of capacity. Altamont Pass is still one of the largest concentration of wind turbines in the world, with a capacity of 576 megawatts (MW), producing about 125 MW on average and 1.1 terawatt ...
Maple Ridge Wind Farm, which achieved full operation in 2006, is a facility with 195 Vestas model V82 1.65 MW wind turbines.
