SPRING VALLEY WIND PROJECT, a 150 MW Wind power plant in White Pine County, Nevada. Operated by PATTERN OPERATORS LP, commissioned 2012.
How SPRING VALLEY WIND PROJECT compares
With 150 MW of capacity, SPRING VALLEY WIND PROJECT ranks 18th among the 50 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Nevada. It accounts for about 1.3% of all operating capacity in Nevada. Nationally it is the 118th-largest of the 708 operating Wind plants in the database. Commissioned in 2012, it is newer than 65% of the 49 operating Nevada plants with a recorded commissioning year.
EIA-860 lists 1 generator at the site with 150 MW of nameplate capacity, all onshore wind turbine technology. Net generation was 319 GWh in 2024 (a 24% capacity factor), up 1% from 2022.
Grid neighborhood
The nearest named substation is OSCEOLA (230 kV), about 0.5 miles away; the closest transmission line found within 10 miles is a 230 kV line, about 0.2 miles away.

Weather peril exposure
SPRING VALLEY WIND PROJECT is a 150 MW wind power plant in White Pine County, NV, operated by PATTERN OPERATORS LP, commissioned in 2012. White Pine County carries low modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 1.1 of 5 at the 2nd national percentile. Wildfire is the leading peril, rated Relatively Low by FEMA at the 85th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a wind plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
White Pine County hazard ratings
| Peril | FEMA rating | National percentile | Peril score | Events per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wildfire | Relatively Low | 85th | 4.4 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Earthquake | Relatively Low | 82nd | 4.3 of 5 | 0.01 |
| Winter weather | Relatively High | 82nd | 4.3 of 5 | 20.4 |
| Heat wave | Very Low | 46th | 2.8 of 5 | 1.9 |
| Riverine flooding | Very Low | 36th | 2.4 of 5 | 0.79 |
| Lightning | Very Low | 34th | 2.3 of 5 | 33.5 |
| Hail | Very Low | 10th | 1.4 of 5 | 0.02 |
| Strong wind | Very Low | 6th | 1.2 of 5 | 0.14 |
| Tornado | Very Low | 1st | 1.0 of 5 | 0.09 |
Perils not assessed in White Pine County
These perils carry no usable National Risk Index figure for this county, so they are excluded from the scoring rather than scored zero. A zero would claim the peril was assessed and found benign.
| Peril | Why it is not scored |
|---|---|
| Hurricane | FEMA rating is "Not Applicable" for this county |
| Coastal flooding | FEMA rating is "Not Applicable" for this county |
| Ice storm | FEMA rating is "Not Applicable" for this county |
