HIGHLAND WIND PROJECT, a 63 MW Wind power plant in Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Operated by KRAYN WIND LLC, commissioned 2009.
How HIGHLAND WIND PROJECT compares
With 63 MW of capacity, HIGHLAND WIND PROJECT ranks 65th among the 170 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Pennsylvania and 10th of the 25 operating Wind plants in the state. It accounts for about 4.6% of Pennsylvania's operating Wind capacity and 0.2% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 346th-largest of the 708 operating Wind plants in the database. Commissioned in 2009, it is newer than 71% of the 168 operating Pennsylvania plants with a recorded commissioning year. It shares Cambria County with 5 other operating plants, including COLVER POWER PROJECT and ALLEGHENY RIDGE WIND FARM.
EIA-860 lists 1 generator at the site with 63 MW of nameplate capacity, all onshore wind turbine technology. Net generation was 126 GWh in 2024 (a 23% capacity factor), down 8% from 2022.

Weather peril exposure
HIGHLAND WIND PROJECT is a 63 MW wind power plant in Cambria County, PA, operated by KRAYN WIND LLC, commissioned in 2009. Cambria County carries low modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 1.8 of 5 at the 19th national percentile. Hurricane is the leading peril, rated Relatively Low by FEMA at the 61st 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.
Cambria County hazard ratings
| Peril | FEMA rating | National percentile | Peril score | Events per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hurricane | Relatively Low | 61st | 3.5 of 5 | 0.04 |
| Hail | Relatively Low | 37th | 2.5 of 5 | 1.8 |
| Tornado | Relatively Low | 27th | 2.1 of 5 | 0.20 |
| Earthquake | Relatively Low | 26th | 2.1 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Riverine flooding | Relatively Moderate | 25th | 2.0 of 5 | 1.3 |
| Wildfire | Very Low | 17th | 1.7 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Ice storm | Relatively Low | 14th | 1.6 of 5 | 0.21 |
| Winter weather | Relatively Moderate | 7th | 1.3 of 5 | 24.1 |
| Lightning | Relatively High | 7th | 1.3 of 5 | 38.1 |
| Strong wind | Relatively Moderate | 5th | 1.2 of 5 | 2.5 |
| Heat wave | Very Low | 2nd | 1.1 of 5 | 0.42 |
Perils not assessed in Cambria 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.
