Foundation Cemex BMQ Onshore Wind Farm - United States

Foundation Cemex BMQ is an onshore wind farm located in the United States, specifically at coordinates 34.6231, -117.1125. With a capacity of 3 MW, it is a small-scale wind energy facility contributing to the country's renewable energy portfolio. The plant is owned by Foundation CA Fund VI Manager LLC and is currently operational. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and state-level Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS). Onshore wind farms like this one benefit from federal tax incentives and are subject to local permitting requirements. The 3 MW capacity places it in the small-scale category, typical for community or distributed wind projects. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity. Its small scale minimizes land-use impact and visual intrusion. The facility supports grid integration of renewable energy, though its output is modest compared to larger wind farms. Overall, it plays a role in diversifying the local energy mix.

The facility is located in a region with suitable wind resources for onshore wind energy. Wind farms of this scale typically have low visual and land-use impact, and modern turbines include measures to reduce bird and bat collisions. The plant contributes to local renewable energy generation, supporting state-level renewable portfolio standards and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
