The Altamont Pass wind farm is located in the Altamont Pass of the Diablo Range in Northern California. It is one of the earliest wind farms in the United States. The first wind turbines were placed on the Altamont in the early 1980s by Fayette Manufacturing Corporation on land owned by cattle rancher Joe Jess. The wind farm is composed of 4930 relatively small wind turbines of various types, making it at one time the largest wind farm in the world in terms of capacity. Altamont Pass is still one of the largest concentration of wind turbines in the world, with a capacity of 576 megawatts (MW), producing about 125 MW on average and 1.1 terawatt-hours (TWh) yearly. They were installed after the 1970s energy crisis in response to favorable tax policies for investors.

  • Il parco eolico di Altamont Pass è un parco eolico statunitense situato presso il , nella , nella California settentrionale. È composto da più di 4900 piccole turbine eoliche di vario tipo, che lo fanno diventare uno dei maggiori parchi eolici al mondo per concentrazione di turbine e capacità, pari a 576 megawatts (MW), con circa 125 MW di media e 1,1 terawatt-ora (TWh) di energia eolica prodotta ogni anno. Fu uno dei primi parchi eolici a sorgere negli Stati Uniti, creato a seguito della crisi energetica degli anni settanta, in risposta alle politiche fiscali favorevoli per gli investitori. Considerate in gran parte obsolete, le piccole turbine sono state gradualmente rimpiazzate da unità più grandi e più efficaci in termini di costi. Le turbine piccole restano, tuttavia, pericolose per i vari rapaci che cacciano i citelli di Beechey in quell'area: in media 1 300 rapaci muoiono annualmente, tra di essi ci sono 70 aquile reali che sono protette federalmente; in totale 4700 uccelli muoiono in media annualmente. Le unità più grandi girano più lentamente rispetto alle turbine più piccole che hanno rimpiazzato e, essendo collocate a un'altezza maggiore dalla terraferma, sono meno pericolose per la fauna selvatica locale.
