About the Project
Wind Wall 1, located in California’s Tehachapi Pass, was a repower of a legacy wind project acquired from an independent power producer (IPP). The project replaced over 400 aging turbines (36 MW capacity) with 13 modern turbines totaling 46.5 MW. This upgrade boosted annual energy production by approximately 250%, generating nearly three times the output of the original Legacy Wind Wall Project. On behalf of Eolus North America, IOWN managed all aspects of construction, financing, and secured an offtake agreement with a major Big Tech firm before successfully exiting to a multinational institutional investor post-COD.
