Construction is under way on Rocky Forge, which Apex Clean Energy describes as Virginia’s first large land-based wind project. Apex says the project will include 13 turbines, each rated at more than 6 megawatts, for a total nameplate capacity of about 78 megawatts, and that annual production should be roughly equal to electricity used by about 20,000 average Virginia homes.

Construction is underway on the Rocky Forge Wind Project, Virginia’s first land-based wind farm, located in Botetourt County.

Construction has begun in Botetourt County to build a wind farm, with the farm being fully operational by 2026.

Google and Apex Clean Energy are set to purchase all of the electricity generated by Rocky Forge Wind, a wind farm in Botetourt County that will create 250 jobs during construction.
