Leaning Juniper IIB Wind Power Facility is a wind power facility located within a site boundary of 7,962 acres (12.4 square miles). The facility consists of 74 wind turbines, with a maximum blade tip height of 389 feet (approved height is 423 feet for repowered turbines), and a peak generating capacity of approximately 120 megawatts.

Operating/Under Review. The facility commenced commercial operation in 2011. In July 2025, the Energy Facility Siting Council approved and issued a Third Amended Site Certificate, authorizing the certificate holder to repower the facility. Repowering activities must commence on or before July 18, 2028.​

On February 17, 2026, the certificate holder submitted Request for Amendment 4 (RFA4) seeking authorization to amend the site certificate based on a change in ownership of the facility, changing the certificate holder from Leaning Juniper II, LLC to Leaning Juniper 2B, LLC. On February 19, 2026, the Department issued a Public Notice seeking public comments on RFA4 and will conduct a hearing on March 20, 2026, accepting comments on RFA4 and applicable standards, before Council makes a decision.​ The Department’s staff report and draft Final Order on RFA4 will be reviewed at the March 20, 2026 Council meeting. RFA4, Public Notice on RFA4, and the Department’s staff report/draft Final Order on RFA4 are provided in the Timeline below.​
