Facilities

A wind energy facility with a peak generating capacity of approximately 90.3 megawatts consisting of 43 wind turbines, with a maximum blade tip height of 492 feet, and located within a site boundary of 6,404 acres.

Operating. The certificate holder is in the process of completing pre-repower requirements, and plans to commence repowering by early March, pending the Department's concurrence on pre-repower compliance.

On December 12, 2024, the certificate holder submitted an Amendment Determination Request (ADR) pursuant to OAR 345-027-0357 requesting a written determination from the Oregon Department of Energy on whether a proposed change necessitates review through the site certificate amendment process. The ADR evaluates three proposed changes: change in crane walk disturbance footprint; clarification/expansion of the decommissioning disturbance area for two wind turbines; and expansion of a storage yard area at the existing O&M building. On January 30, 2025, the Department issued a written determination confirming that, based on review of the “three coulds" under OAR 345-027-0350(4), the changes proposed would not require review through the site certificate amendment process. The certificate holder's ADR and Department's ADR determination are available via hyperlink in the timeline below.​
