This is one of California's largest wind energy resource areas. There are thousands of commercial size wind turbines strewn all over the Tehachapi Valley and the Tehachapi Pass area. Different plots are owned by different corporations. The older generation machines are in the kilowatt range, while the newer ones which are being currently installed are up to 3 megawatts. It has turbines of the older style which are single or dual bladed, and the more modern machines are usually triple bladed. There were even the "Darius" test designs which were vertical axis, and looked like massive egg beaters. They are no longer in use; having been very inefficient. The current output is somewhere around 800Megawatts, and new turbines are being installed on a daily basis. Contracts have passed through to install another 1500Megawatts worth of turbines. The state initiative to upgrade the power transmission lines coming from this area started in 2008, and should be finished by 2012.
