Clearway Signs 335 MW Turbine Supply Agreement with Vestas for Wind Repower in West Virginia

Nacelles made in Brighton, Colorado factory

San Francisco – Clearway Energy Group (“Clearway”) announced today a turbine supply agreement with Vestas, a global leader in wind turbine manufacturing. The 335-megawatt (MW) turbine supply agreement, which includes two phases, will furnish the repowering of the Mount Storm Wind project in Grant County, West Virginia.

“We’re pleased to continue our partnership with Vestas and drive more investments in American-made power,” said Frances Cook, Vice President of Procurement at Clearway. “This turbine agreement prioritizes US-made equipment and represents a major investment in a wind project that provides reliable, low-cost power in West Virginia.”

The agreement reflects Clearway’s strategic investment in domestically manufactured equipment. The nacelles, which house the gearbox, generator, and other major turbine machinery, are made at a Brighton, Colorado factory, which employs over 500 people.

Repowering the project will include removing and recycling the site’s 132 existing turbines, including recycling significant amounts of aluminum, cabling, fiberglass, and scrap metal at regional facilities.

The repowered site will be enhanced with 78 new V117-4.3 MW turbines, leading to an 85% increase in Mount Storm’s overall generation while using 40% fewer turbines.
