The California Ridge Wind Farm is a 134-turbine wind farm in eastern Champaign County and western Vermilion County in Illinois.[1] The project was developed by Invenergy, an energy holding company.[2]
Detail
The California Ridge complex's 134 wind turbines, each rated at 1.6 mW, were completed in December 2012. The turbines can generate up to 217.0 megawatts of electricity.[1] The complex utilizes leasehold rights to 27,700 acres of Illinois land, and employs approximately 14 full-time workers in its ongoing operations. Power generated by the project was pre-sold to the Tennessee Valley Authority.[2]
