The SWT-3 never achieved its rated power production due to losses in its hydraulic drive, limiting electric output to 1.1 MW. The second turbine tested at the Edison site was a 500-kilowatt vertical axis wind turbine generator produced by Alcoa. 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. 470: 531: 1870: 314: 1556: 517: 1858: 1882: 434:
All of these 2020-era repowering efforts installed Vestas V112 or V117 wind turbines, producing between 3.0 and 4.3 MW, the largest blade reaching 492 feet above the ground. Note the permitted projects often allow for more new turbines than actually installed. The as-installed number of turbines are

As of May 2024, the wind farm consists of 666 wind turbines with a total rated capacity of 628 MW, built as part of 26 projects. The rated power output is somewhat understated, since the official database counts the latest repowered turbines but does not include their power output. In December 2021

Prior to the 2020-era repowering, a significant repower began in 2008 and completed in 2011. It replaced 460 existing wind turbines with 33 new turbines, replacing 74 non-operational Kenetech turbines and approximately 384 Vestas V15 65kW turbines. The new machines are 1.5 MW GE SLE wind turbines,

A 2008 proposal details an upgrade to the facilities to begin construction by September 2011. The proposed project would replace the 460 existing wind turbines with 30 new turbines in two phases. Phase 1 would remove approximately 74 non-operational turbines and install up to fifteen new 1.5 MW GE

The first commercial wind farm was established by San Gorgonio Farms on a land parcel adjacent to the Devers substation, consisting of eight 25-kiloWatt downwind turbines. By 1987, fourteen independent operators had installed over 4200 wind turbines in the area. Since then, many wind projects have
