WAYMART WIND, a 65 MW Wind power plant in Wayne County, Pennsylvania. Operated by WAYMART WIND LP, commissioned 2003.
How WAYMART WIND compares
With 65 MW of capacity, WAYMART WIND ranks 62nd among the 170 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Pennsylvania and 9th of the 25 operating Wind plants in the state. It accounts for about 4.8% of Pennsylvania's operating Wind capacity and 0.2% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 341st-largest of the 708 operating Wind plants in the database. Commissioned in 2003, it is newer than 56% of the 168 operating Pennsylvania plants with a recorded commissioning year. It shares Wayne County with one other operating plant, PPL HW WALLENPAUPACK.
EIA-860 lists 1 generator at the site with 65 MW of nameplate capacity, all onshore wind turbine technology. Net generation was 85.9 GWh in 2024 (a 15% capacity factor), down 15% from 2022.
Grid neighborhood
The closest transmission line found within 10 miles is a 500 kV line, about 4.8 miles away. Another 2 operating power plants totaling 133 MW sit within 25 miles; the largest is ARCHBALD POWER STATION (93 MW, Biomass).

Weather peril exposure
WAYMART WIND is a 65 MW wind power plant in Wayne County, PA, operated by WAYMART WIND LP, commissioned in 2003. Wayne County carries low modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 1.3 of 5 at the 7th national percentile. Hurricane is the leading peril, rated Relatively Low by FEMA at the 74th 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.
