Casselman Wind Power Project
The Casselman Wind Power Project, located in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, is putting land reclaimed from a former coal mine to productive use. 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. The 23 turbines at this wind power project generate 34.5 megawatts (MW) of clean, renewable energy, enough to power for more than 10,000 homes.
In keeping with Iberdrola Renewables' excellent track record and longstanding commitment to wildlife at its projects, the company is conducting industry-leading analysis with third-party conservation scientists to collect data about bat behavior at this wind farm.
