Windland Inc. is a pioneer in the American wind energy industry. Windland has owned and operated a wind farm near Tehachapi, California for over 20 years. The wind farm ranks among California's highest performing projects and one of a handful run , without interruption , by the same organization.
The wind regime of the Tehachapi Mountains is among the most challenging in all North America. High wind speeds, extreme turbulence, wildly fluctuating temperatures and harsh winters have stressed turbine technology and wind farm operations. The Tehachapi wind resource area has been and remains the toughest test bed for wind power technology.
Windland has used five successive generations of wind turbine generators at its Tehachapi site from the 25 and 40 kW turbines of the early 1980's to the megawatt class machines of today. The company has had much experience with as great a variety of technology. Windland has applied its unique experience to its reconditioned turbine sale program TURBINE SALES and in its new green field development efforts PROJECTS.
A member of the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) been since 1982, Windland has frequently collaborated with other firms. Over the years, it has worked closely with Vestas Windsystems A/S and FPL Energy. Windland recently announced a partnership with Shell WindEnergy to jointly develop and operate the Cotterel Mountain Wind Farm Project NEWS.
Windland moved to Boise, Idaho in 1992. This relocation enabled the company to scour the Northwest for promising green field project opportunities. The first result of these efforts is the proposed Cotterel Mountain project, which is positioned to become Idaho's first commercial wind farm PROJECTS.
Since 1982, Windland has consistently met the challenges of wind farm development and operation. It has done so through a commitment to prudent, common sense business practice grounded upon a solid foundation of proven integrity.
