EverPower's Patton Wind Farm is located in Northern Cambria County, Pennsylvania, on active farm land. The project was acquired in April of 2012 and became fully operational in December, 2012. With the addition of the Patton Wind Farm to EverPower's wind portfolio, this brings the total amount of megawatts developed by EverPower in Cambria County to 167.5 MW.
The project utilizes 15 Gamesa G-97 turbine generators, each with a nameplate rating of 2.0 megawatts. In total, the Patton wind farm has the ability to generate 30 megawatts of electric power- producing enough electricity to power approximately 9,000 homes.
Economic Benefits of the Patton Wind Farm
• Approximately $1 million in local goods and services is required for the yearly operation and maintenance of the project.
• Both EverPower and Gamesa will employ 3 full-time employees to operate and maintain the wind farm.
• Over $8 million in payments will be made to state and local governments over the lifetime of the project.
