The 7.5-megawatt (MW) Jersey-Atlantic Wind Farm is the first wind farm to be built in New Jersey, and the first coastal wind farm in the United States. The wind farm is located in Atlantic County, NJ and is visible to more than 30 million Atlantic City visitors each year from downtown Atlantic City and the Atlantic City Expressway. The project produces approximately 19 million kilowatt-hours of emission-free electricity per year, which is enough emission-free energy to power over 2,000 homes.

Renewable energy sources such as wind power are gradually gaining momentum in places like the United States. Wind energy is one of the fastest growing alternative energy sources that we have today. As you know, the wind turbine is a device for converting the kinetic energy from wind to mechanical energy. A generator then converts this rotating mechanical energy immediately into electrical energy. Companies such as Pacific Crest Transformers work with the wind energy sector.
