EverPower is Harvesting Our Future
EverPower is poised to be a leader in wind power development now and into the future. By partnering with local landowners and the community, we seek to maximize the environmental and economic benefits of the inexhaustible clean source of power – the wind. We are the right choice for landowners and community leaders looking to partner with a company that can provide clean, low-cost energy for the future.

To date, EverPower has over 4,500 MW of wind power projects under development in seven states and our unique partnership approach to the market will continue to fuel our expansion. Our Highland Wind Project became commercially operational in August of 2009 and the 62.5 MW project has been providing reliable clean power to the grid and benefits to the local community since that time. In 2011 and early 2012 our 53 MW Howard Wind Project in Steuben County, NY and 75 MW Highland North Wind Farm in Cambria County, PA became commercially operational.

In November, 2009 EverPower was purchased by Terra Firma, a leading private equity firm, and is poised to continue the growth of our wind portfolio.
