Wind power in California

[7] A fourth area, the Montezuma Hills of Solano County, was developed in 2005–2009, with the large Shiloh wind power plant.

[8] Kern County is reviewing a number of other proposed wind projects that would generate a combined 4,600 megawatts of renewable energy if approved.

[21] After leading the country for many years, California ranked fourth nationwide in terms of capacity, behind Texas, Iowa, and Oklahoma in 2016.

Located in eastern San Diego County, the facility has 57 wind turbines which collectively generate 131.1 megawatts of electricity.

[28] CAISO tested the wind farm's synchronverter in 2018, and found it could perform some of the grid services similar or better than traditional generators.

[29][30] In February 2018, Scout Clean Energy of Colorado won the rights to modernize the Gonzaga Ridge wind farm which is located in Pacheco State Park.

RCEA and the development companies intended to file a lease with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management in the summer of 2018 for the 120-150 MW project.

[35] In 2022, the US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) issued a statement of no significant environmental impact,[36] and California set a target of 25 GW of offshore wind by 2045.
