The San Gorgonio Pass is now home to the Desert Peak Energy Facility, a Battery storage power station located adjacent to the Devers electrical substation.

[6] Southern California Edison operates several high-voltage electrical transmission lines through the pass, leading to and from its Devers substation located north of Palm Springs.

Path 46 500 kilo-volt (kV) power lines cross the pass on the northern edge of San Jacinto Peak.

These lines effectively link the Los Angeles metropolitan area with the Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant in Arizona.

Oliver and Sperry fitted the generator with aluminum propellers, and placed a large funnel on the front to concentrate the wind's power.

After the two worked out other mechanical issues, Oliver set out to raise funds to expand the enterprise, with the vision of powering all of nearby Palm Springs.

[12] The SWT-3 never achieved its rated power production due to losses in its hydraulic drive, limiting electric output to 1.1 MW.

[13] The Alcoa unit self-destructed just two weeks after installation in 1981 on the eve of the first American Wind Energy Conference in Palm Springs.

[15] In 1982 wind energy development in the San Gorgonio Pass area was formally studied, and the results published in the San Gorgonio Wind Resource Study EIR (1982), a joint environmental document prepared for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and Riverside County.
