Windridge
The Windridge Operating Facility is 100 percent owned by Western Wind and located on approximately 200 acres of fee-simple land in the Tehachapi Pass Wind Resource Area in Kern County, California. The Tehachapi Pass is the world's largest aggregated wind park, where more than 5,000 wind turbine generators produce more than 1.4 billion kilowatt hours per year.
The Windridge Operating Facility has been producing energy consistently since 1984 from 43 wind turbine generators. The company has a 30 year power sales agreement with Southern California Edison, the primary electricity supply company for much of Southern California, effective until 2014. Western Wind received final clearance from the Federal Aviation Authority and subsequently announced its intention to expand production at Windridge from 4.5 megawatts to 12 megawatts.
Western Wind's management has been involved in the ownership and operation of wind energy facilities in Tehachapi for more than 27 years.
