Harnessing Wind Energy for Allegany County's Future

Dan's Mountain Wind will be a substantial boost to the local economy by creating over one hundred construction jobs, opening opportunities for local businesses, and generating millions in additional tax revenue to support essential public services, including schools, hospitals, and local emergency response services. Upon operations, the wind projects $10,000 community benefits fund will provide annual donations to local organizations that serve the community.

Local energy sites like Dan’s Mountain Wind help stabilize energy prices and contribute to American energy independence by harnessing the region’s unlimited wind resources. The project’s land stewardship program includes preserving Allegany County's natural beauty and ensuring a sustainable and prosperous future for the region.

Wind projects provide clean, reliable, and cost-competitive energy that helps meet the growing demand for affordable electricity. Wind turbines capture the natural, limitless wind currents, converting kinetic energy into mechanical power, which is then transformed into electricity. Nestled in the Allegany Front, Dan’s Mountain is ideally suited for this project, as the broader regional topography funnels wind currents, leading to consistent, reliable wind speeds at the high elevations of Dan’s Mountain.

Project Phases

Daggett Solar will be built in three phases:

The project will be built in three phases. The first two phases consist of solar and storage and the last phase consists of just storage. The first phase commenced construction in the fall of 2021 and will be complete in summer of 2023. The second phase commenced construction in Q2 of 2022 will be complete in winter of 2023. The third phase will be constructed at a future time.

A Community-Enhancing Opportunity

From generating tax revenue to creating new job opportunities, Daggett Solar will bring major economic benefits to San Bernardino County. During construction, the project will generate $210 million in local spending and pay the county up to $10.9 million in Sales and Use Taxes. During operations, the project will generate $5 million annually. Once complete, Daggett Solar will drive up to $18.5 million in tax revenue to support local schools, hospitals, and infrastructure.

In terms of the local workforce, Daggett Solar will create more than 500 union labor jobs in partnership with I.B.E.W. Labor Union 477. The site will also sustain at least a dozen permanent onsite roles for project operation, maintenance, and management.

To ensure the safety of the Daggett Solar team and the community at large, thorough safety measures will be implemented at each step of the project. Since solar has just a few moving parts – and no emissions or engines – it will be a quiet, clean neighbor. Additionally, we will adhere to stringent conditions for dust mitigation during construction and opportunities. From start to finish, the project will be staffed and secured by operational and safety professionals.
