Renewable Energy Center

Wind Farm Tours

See for yourself! The Renewable Energy Center can connect you with individuals and opportunities for visiting the Allegheny Ridge Wind Energy Project near our offices at Saint Francis University.

Please call us (814) 472-2872 or send us an email at renewable@francis.edu so we can work with you and your group to arrange a Wind Farm Tour.

For a "virtual" tour and to see where our PA wind projects are located you can visit these sites:

Pennsylvania Wind Working Group: this information is a little dated but does list a number of projects

American Wind Energy Association's Pennsylvania Page: up-to-date list of projects and proposed projects in Pennsylvania

With a wind farm tour you see for yourself how modern wind turbines look, how they sound, how much space they need, how they work and how a project gets developed.
