"A $40m repowering of the Buena Vista wind farm uses 38 1MW MHI turbines to replace older, smaller models. The larger 1MW turbines have allowed a reduction in the site footprint from 1,000ha (2,400 acres) to 160ha (400 acres) for the same power. The Buena Vista Energy LLC Wind Project is owned by Babcock & Brown Group (B&B) and General Electric, and is part of the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area.
Babcock & Brown Group was contracted at the end of 2005, when construction began. MHI supplied the wind turbines, which came on line in December 2006."
