California regulators approve 30 MW Mesa Wind Repowering Project in Palm Springs

The Bureau of Land Management Palm Springs-South Coast Field Office (BLM) has approved the Mesa Wind Repower Project, located on public lands 11 miles northwest of the City of Palm Springs in Riverside County, in California, USA.

The right-of-way holder, Brookfield Renewables, proposes to repower the existing 30-megawatt (MW) wind project, which was built in 1983. The repowering of the project involves the removal of approximately 460 older generation turbines and the installation of up to nine new wind turbine generators.
