ALTA WIND ENERGY CENTER is the largest wind power USA
Wind power is the future of alternative energy. Skeptics for 20 years, hypotheses about how negatively they affect the environment, birds and bats, the beauty of the landscapes, the noise of the turbines disrupt the tranquillity of the inhabitants of the surrounding areas. However, two centuries of wind farms are the most environmentally friendly type of renewable energy.
The market leaders at the moment — the UK and Spain, as a whole, the European continent accounts for 44% of all wind power.
The latest trend of the Old world – the creation of a wind farm right on the shelves of rivers and seas. Rapidly catching up with Europe and North America. The development of local scientists and investing in the wind farm are surprising the whole world.
Recently the students of Arizona State University have developed a special model of the turbine, which is attached right above the freeways. This leads to savings earmarked for metro stations. A pair of turbines capable of providing electricity to several homes, even without a strong wind.
The largest terrestrial wind farm in the United States – the ALTA WIND ENERGY CENTER. The owners of the "Californian wind miracle" are firm "Terra-Gen", "Arclight Capital Partners and Global Infrastructure Partners". The first wind turbines have in the desert, Tehachapi Pass back in 1980. The government's decision on granting tax incentives to entrepreneurs that produce electricity in alternative ways, spurred the creation of a wind farm on a mountain pass. It was a breakthrough in the traditional energy sector of the United States.
For many years the station was modernized and rebuilt, its capacity increased. The turning point in the mid-90s a VES around the world lost funding due to the boom of nuclear power.
It seemed that the "windmills" will never be able to generate enough electricity and be cost effective. Environmental conditions on the planet worsened every year. Work by US scientists and research ecologists about the future of the Earth prompted all developed countries to restore the work of wind stations
ALTA WIND ENERGY CENTER in 2010, experiencing its heyday. Terra Gen in total is going to invest in this unique VES about $ 630 million. The company plans to install a further 600 wind turbines by 2015, which will be able to serve 257 thousand homes in California. The infrastructure serving the station, will be the most comfortable and functional substations, meteorological towers, safety light system, service road — whole "carousel on the bed state."
AWEC benefits and their owners, and California County Kern. AWEC annually transfers about $ 30 million to landowners and farmers of the County, pays taxes in the amount of $ 40 million. With the launch of the new turbines, the wind farm will displace the surrounding areas dangerous for the environment companies that produce electricity. California will avoid emissions of 59 tons of carbon dioxide.
