Goshen Phase II is an onshore wind farm located in Idaho, United States, with a capacity of 124.5 MW. The facility is owned by AE Power Services LLC and is currently operational, contributing to the region's renewable energy portfolio. The wind farm operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and state-level Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS). Idaho's renewable energy landscape is supported by federal tax incentives and net metering policies, though the state does not have a mandatory RPS. The 124.5 MW capacity places Goshen Phase II in the medium-to-large scale for onshore wind farms in the U.S. Goshen Phase II plays a role in diversifying Idaho's energy mix and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Wind farms in this region benefit from consistent wind patterns, supporting grid stability and local energy needs. The facility's operations align with broader U.S. goals to increase renewable energy capacity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Environmental context
Wind farms like Goshen Phase II can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect local bird and bat populations through collisions with turbines. However, proper siting and mitigation measures can reduce these risks. The facility's location in Idaho's rural areas minimizes land-use conflicts, and its contribution to clean energy helps offset emissions from fossil fuel generation.
