The Highland Wind Project: Adding 25 Turbines to Southwetern PA
The Highland Wind Project is located in Adams Township in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Electronic transmission passes through the site and will provide a convenient point for interconnection.
Location: Cambria County, Pennsylvania
Project size: 62.5 megawatts
Turbines: 25 Nordex N90 Turbines (each rated at a capacity of 2.5 megawatts)
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania News Release: A former Cambria County strip (coal) mine in Southwestern PA will soon be home to 25 wind turbines generating enough power to meet the needs of 16,000 homes, according to PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
The $140 million Highland wind project in Southwestern PA is expected to be online later this year (2008) and may produce more than 164,000 megawatt hours of power annually. And, because wind power is free of emissions, the project will prevent 400 million pounds of carbon dioxide—a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change—from reaching the atmosphere.
