Built on former coal mine land, the project reinforces CPV’s longstanding commitment to brownfield development while expanding HSAM’s investment in renewable infrastructure.
“Pennsylvania remains a strong partner to CPV, and our activities reflect the state’s ‘all-of-the-above’ approach to address energy demand and help foster opportunities for new power projects,” said Sherman Knight, CEO of CPV. “This project provides the Commonwealth with new affordable generation, while expanding CPV’s investment in Cambria County.”
In parallel, CPV secured tax equity financing with U.S. Bank. Marathon Capital served as advisor, emphasizing the project’s quality and CPV’s leading role in developing utility-scale renewable projects.
CPV Rogue’s Wind is the company’s third renewable project that utilizes former coal mining land for renewable power generation. The project sits on over 6,000 acres, operating in partnership with private landowners and an active ATV park, Rock Run Recreation Area. The park features over 140 miles of trails, allowing riders an opportunity to reach the base of the wind towers.
“This project encapsulates how CPV approaches land development and integrates into our local communities. CPV Rogue’s Wind not only repurposes former coal mining land but seamlessly works alongside an existing ATV park, promoting the natural features of the region,” said Mike Resca, EVP of CPV Renewable Power. “This project represents a $300 million investment into the region and benefits Clearfield and Cambria Counties along with the Commonwealth.”
“CPV Rogue’s Wind demonstrates how thoughtful infrastructure investment can generate lasting value for communities while supporting the evolving needs of the electric grid,” said Carolyn Arida, Partner – Infrastructure at Harrison Street Asset Management. “We are proud to partner with CPV on a project that reflects our shared commitment to investing in assets that deliver long-term economic and environmental benefits.”
CPV Rogue’s Wind was constructed by White Construction who utilized local contractors. Logisticus Group handled the transport of the project’s 19 Vestas V-162 wind turbines, traveling more than 260 miles from port to site.
CPV Rogue’s Wind will generate enough electricity to the grid to support approximately 32,000 households.
Building on Strong Community Ties
Since CPV Fairview Energy Center came online in 2019, followed by CPV Maple Hill Solar in 2023, CPV has played an active role in the Cambria County community, supporting first responders, STEM education initiatives, and addressing food insecurity. This partnership with the county continues with the addition of CPV Rogue’s Wind, integrating into the region’s valued natural features.
“CPV is a welcomed addition and valued partner to the Cambria County Conservation and Recreation Authority, seeing CPV Rogue’s Wind come online is a result of a lot of hope and work,” said Tom Kakabar, Chair of the Cambria County Conservation and Recreation Authority. “This project will generate new revenue; it has already created hundreds of construction jobs and helps support our natural resources. It’s a win-win.”
The project further reflects the ongoing partnership between CPV and Harrison Street Asset Management to invest in critical energy infrastructure that supports reliability, economic development, and a responsible energy transition.
CPV Rogue’s Wind joins five operating wind and solar projects in the company’s renewable portfolio alongside a development pipeline of 4.8 GW spanning solar, wind, and battery storage.
