5.7 GW of short turbines could be added to the Tehachapi Wind Resource Area

Publication: Wind Harvest International

Year Published: 2023

Wind Harvest analyzed the Tehachapi wind resource area using publicly available location information and UL’s Windnavigator. We found that the area could add 5,700 MWs of Wind Harvester type turbines to the existing 3,263 MWs of propeller-type turbines currently installed in Kern County. Based on the mid-level wind speeds in the zone, this level of buildout would produce 18,364 GWh of electricity per year. The existing wind farms produce ~11,000 GWh of electricity per year.
