Over 500 MW of short turbines could be added to the East San Diego County Wind Resource Area

Wind Harvest analyzed the East San Diego County Wind Resource Area using publicly available location information and UL’s Windnavigator. The report concluded that the area could add 457 MWs of Wind Harvester type turbines to the existing 406 MWs of propeller-type turbines currently installed. Based on the mid-level wind speeds in the zone, this level of buildout would produce 1,559 GWh of electricity per year. The existing wind farms produce 1,069 GWh of electricity per year.
