Wind farms in California, groups of wind turbines in the same location, used to produce electricity. Wind farms vary in size from a small number of turbines to several hundred wind turbines covering an extensive area. Wind farms can be either onshore or offshore.
CAISO tested the wind farm's synchronverter in 2018, and found it could perform some of the grid services similar or better than traditional generators. [29] [30] In February 2018, Scout Clean Energy of Colorado won the rights to modernize the Gonzaga Ridge wind farm which is located in Pacheco State Park. Rated at 16.5 megawatts, the Gonzaga ...

Development of the wind farm began in the 1980s. [2] It is one of the first three major wind farm areas in California, along with those at Altamont and the Tehachapi passes. As of May 2024, the wind farm consists of 666 wind turbines with a total rated capacity of 628 MW, built as part of 26 projects. [3]
The Shiloh wind power plant is a wind farm located in the Montezuma Hills of Solano County, California, USA, close to Bird's Landing and Collinsville, 40 miles (64 km) northeast of San Francisco. It has a nameplate capacity of 505 megawatts (MW) of power and was built in four stages between 2005 and 2012. Several additional projects are also ...
The following table lists offshore wind farm areas (by nameplate capacity) that are in various states development for the Outer Continental Shelf in U.S. territorial waters of the East Coast of the United States, [31] where a Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) wind energy area lease has been secured [32] [33] and have gained at least some ...
The 2006 contract, which more than doubles SCE's wind energy portfolio, envisions more than 50 square miles (130 km 2) of wind parks in the Tehachapi region, which is triple the size of any existing U.S. wind farm. [8] Other well-known wind turbine locations in California include the adjacent Alta Wind Energy Center, the Altamont Pass Wind Farm ...
This is at least partly due to usage by windpump builders Eclipse Windmill Company (1873) and Aermotor Windmill Company (1888, the sole surviving US "windmill" manufacturer [1]). And it is also used by many to refer to modern wind turbines generating electricity.
