Casselman Wind Power Project Explained

The Casselman Wind Power Project is a wind farm in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, with 23 GE 1.5 MW Wind Turbines that began commercial operation in 2007. The wind farm has a combined total nameplate capacity of 34.5 megawatts, but actually produces about 90,666 megawatt-hours of electricity annually.[1] The wind farm was developed by PPM Energy and constructed by Iberdrola, based in Spain.[2] Power produced at the wind farm is distributed by First Energy.[3] [4]

Eight of the project's 23 wind turbines sit atop a rehabilitated surface mine. In addition, the former mining site also hosts the wind farm's operation center, collector transformer and interconnection facility.[5]
