The 30 MW Meyersdale Wind Power Project, developed in partnership with Atlantic Renewable Energy (now Iberdrola), is located in the Casselman River Valley in the shadow of Mt. Davis, the highest point in Pennsylvania. The geography of Meyersdale makes it the most energetic wind sites in Pennsylvania.
The 20 1.5 MW GE sle turbines are spread across nearly 3000 acres on top of a ridgeline populated with trees in Somerset County, in an area known for especially good wind resource. Each tower is 262 feet tall, with the three blades each measuring 116 feet long. The project provides enough power for 15,000 Pennsylvania homes.
Horizon co-developed the Meyersdale Wind Power Project, and sold it in the summer of 2003 to Florida Power & Light for construction, ownership, and operation.
