Clearway Energy Group has commissioned 55 MW Dan’s Mountain Wind project in Allegany County, Maryland. Comprised of nine American-made turbines by GE Vernova, the wind project is fully contracted under a long-term PPA with Maryland-based Constellation to deliver wind energy in the region. The wind farm will generate $30 million in property taxes, supporting local schools, hospitals, and other public infrastructure.
The wind energy generated will be sufficient for supporting 24,400 homes annually.”We are proud to help power Maryland in the race to meet skyrocketing demand for affordable and reliable energy in the region,” said Craig Cornelius, Chief Executive Officer of Clearway. “The Dan’s Mountain wind farm generates enough energy to serve thousands of homes and businesses with reliable, US-made clean power. We are grateful to Constellation for their long-term partnership and to the Allegany County community for their trust in Clearway to steward this project and its local benefits for decades to come.”
“Dan’s Mountain Wind is a win for Maryland and a prime example of our state’s leadership in the new energy economy,” said Governor Wes Moore. “The project’s $180 million investment in Allegany County not only created more than 100 union jobs but also transformed former coal-mining land into a powerful new source of renewable energy. By increasing our state’s wind-powered generation by 30%, we take a significant step forward in meeting our climate goals while ensuring Maryland families and businesses have access to reliable, clean power for years to come.”
“As the nation’s largest producer of clean energy, the Dan’s Mountain wind project aligns with Constellation’s goal to support the development of new carbon-free generation,” said Jim McHugh, Chief Commercial Officer, Constellation. “We’re pleased this new clean capacity will help our customers deliver on their sustainability and emissions reduction goals.”
