Tehachapi Pass Wind Farm

Wind development in the Tehachapi Pass began in the early 1980's. The area hosts a multitude of wind farms, comprising one of California's largest Wind resource areas, generating electricity. The pass is undergoing much repowering activity.

The area has multiple generations of wind turbine technology installed, including both single and double blade turbines, as well as the more modern three blade horizontal axis design. The older generation turbines generate kilowatts, and the modern turbines installed generate up to 3 megawatts, depending on the specific turbine and manufacturer.
