A wind facility is a collection of turbines that harness the wind to generate pollution-free energy for customers on the grid. This creates an intermittent yet predictable source of power. The average wind turbine is 90 meters tall (295 ft).
We expect to operate our facilities for 30+ years. Linea Energy is committed to the responsible decommissioning of its facilities. During this process, all turbines will be removed, and the land will be restored to its initial state.
Wind facilities have full-time maintenance teams. Each wind turbine will receive regular maintenance to ensure maximum availability.
Wind facilities benefit local communities through the creation of local jobs, clean energy generation, increased tax revenue and consistent, long-term passive income for participating landowners.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory, NREL, surveyed 172 large-scale wind power projects to see how much land they're really using. The direct land use is a measure of the area of such things as the concrete tower pad, power substations, and new access roads. In the United States, the direct land use for wind turbines is three-quarters of an acre per megawatt. A good size project of 200MW would have a footprint of 150 acres.
Linea Energy is proud to source as much of our equipment as possible from US manufacturers. Supporting US jobs and industry is key to our success.
Yes. Wind power is far less harmful to wildlife, including birds, than traditional energy sources. Wind power is a major solution for climate change, which is the largest threat to many species and their critical habitats. To protect wildlife even further, Linea ensures its wind farms are responsibly sited, properly permitted by state and federal wildlife agencies, and thoughtfully operated.
