PAULDING WIND FARM II, a 150 MW Wind power plant in Paulding County, Ohio. Operated by PAULDING WIND FARM II LLC, commissioned 2011.
How PAULDING WIND FARM II compares
With 150 MW of capacity, PAULDING WIND FARM II ranks 26th among the 102 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Ohio and 2nd of the 6 operating Wind plants in the state. It accounts for about 32% of Ohio's operating Wind capacity and 0.7% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 118th-largest of the 708 operating Wind plants in the database. Commissioned in 2011, it is newer than 81% of the 99 operating Ohio plants with a recorded commissioning year. It shares Paulding County with one other operating plant, HAVILAND PLASTIC PRODUCTS.
EIA-860 lists 1 generator at the site with 99 MW of nameplate capacity, all onshore wind turbine technology (this page's HIFLD capacity figure is 150 MW). Net generation was 302 GWh in 2024 (a 35% capacity factor), down 10% from 2022.

Weather peril exposure
PAULDING WIND FARM II is a 150 MW wind power plant in Paulding County, OH, operated by PAULDING WIND FARM II LLC, commissioned in 2011. Paulding County carries high modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 3.6 of 5 at the 66th national percentile. Heat wave is the leading peril, rated Very Low by FEMA at the 86th 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.
