Harvesting The Future

The Highland Wind Project, being developed by EverPower Wind Holdings, Inc., will provide Pennsylvania with one of the cleanest, most environmentally friendly energy sources available - wind power. Wind energy is the fastest growing source of energy in the world and is inexhaustible and non-polluting. Wind energy emits no greenhouse gases, uses no water or other natural resources and is compatible with mixed land use such as grazing, agriculture or forestry. Wind power can provide a stable pricing structure because it is not subject to fuel price volatility, like energy produced from fossil fuels.

Wind power in Pennsylvania

The Highland Wind Project located in Cambria County, Pennsylvania will include 25 Nordex, N90 turbines that will generate 62.5 megawatts of electricity.

We hope you will use this Web site as a resource for general, up-to-date information about the Highland Wind Project and wind energy. We encourage you to return often for project updates and the latest news.

Benefits to landowners and the community

Wind energy provides farming communities with a new source of long-term revenue with little impact to existing agricultural operations. A modern, utility-scale wind turbine provides about $10,000 to $12,000 in income to a landowner leasing wind rights. Farmers can continue to grow crops up to the base of the turbines located on their land. This boost to Pennsylvania's economies and the additional income for farmers will reinvigorate rural Pennsylvania.

Finally, tax payments from wind projects to school districts, town, and county or state governments will improve local services and reduce tax burdens on local residents.
