MOUNT STORM WIND FARM REPOWER

LOCATION
Grant County
REPOWER CAPACITY: 
335.4 MW

Located in Grant County, this wind farm is helping strengthen the West Virginia energy grid with homegrown renewable electricity.  Repowering Mount Storm Wind will reduce the wind farm’s overall footprint while increasing the site’s generation.

Repowering Mount STorm: 

Repowering Mount Storm will allow Clearway to upgrade the existing infrastructure with more efficient and reliable turbines. Clearway’s reinvestment in Grant County through this repowering will extend the local tax revenues, landowner payments, and high-quality jobs associated with this wind farm for another 35 years.

We are working toward completion of the Mount Storm repowering by the end of 2027. Clearway is thrilled to work with the available trained and skilled workforce in West Virginia to bring this project to fruition through a partnership with the West Virginia Affiliated Construction Trades.

What is a Repower?

As with most technologies, wind farms benefit from refurbishment and repowering as newer and more efficient equipment becomes available. A full repowering of the Mount Storm Wind Farm means that the current turbines will be completely removed, recycled, and replaced with fewer turbines and more efficient, reliable, state-of-the-art technology.

By updating our fleet of turbines, the project will be able to provide more reliable power to the local grid.  

CREATING A HEALTHY COMMUNITY & ECONOMY

Mount Storm Wind is powering Grant County with community-enhancing opportunities. The repower brings increase spending into the local community, helps grow the state and local tax base and renews our landowner lease and easement payments for 35 more years.

TURBINE Recycling

As part of our commitment to minimizing our impact, Clearway mandates stringent plans to recycle, reuse, and responsibly dispose of equipment when selecting construction partners to manage wind facility repowers. Typically, significant amounts of aluminum and cabling are recovered from each turbine. Some turbine components, including blades and generators, can be repurposed at other wind farms. The scrap metal products are taken to recycling facilities, including facilities located in West Virginia, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The fiberglass blades can be recycled by companies that specialize in fiberglass/carbon fiber waste reclamation, recycling, and transformation services.
