Wind turbines
Wind turbines
USGS records 19 of these 48 turbines as partly rebuilt since they were first put up (a new rotor or nacelle, for example).
USGS maps these turbines around a center 1.9 km from the point this page maps the plant at; the nearest turbine is 0.4 km from that point.

Can the connection be reused?
A plant that retires usually leaves its substation, transmission connection and interconnection agreement behind, and those may be reusable by a new project at the same site. FERC Order No. 845 lets an interconnection customer use surplus interconnection service at an existing site, and some transmission providers' tariffs let a replacement resource take over a retiring unit's interconnection service, usually within a set time after the retirement. Whether any such right still exists here, who holds it and on what terms depends on the owner, the transmission provider and timing; this page does not establish any of that.
