Windmills

These windmills are part of the largest wind generation facility in Pennsylvania and is the second largest wind farm east of Mississippi.

There are 43 windmills here on Moosic Mountain in Waymart, Pa. on Route 6. The energy generated from these windmills is used wherever the closest demand exists.

The 43 windmills here generate enough energy to power 15,000 to 19,000 homes. They are massive with a height of 329 feet and the length of the blades is 111 feet.

Pennsylvania produces more megawatts by windmill than any state east of the Mississippi. More than half of the wind turbines in Pennsylvania are in the northeast region of the state.

This farm is located Northeast of Scranton. There is also a wind farm just southeast of Wilkes Barre, Pa. in Bear Creek with 13 windmills and there are 2 windmills in the Humboldt Industrial Park loacated in Hazleton, Pa.
