The wind farm is currently a test site for some new wind turbines, notably the Mitsubishi MWT92, a 2.4 megawatt turbine with a rotor diameter larger than the wingspan of any production aircraft at 92 meters,[4]Template:Update inline manufactured in Japan. During the construction of the last phase, an accident killed one worker and injured another.[5] Oregon OSHA fined the manufacturer for safety violations.[6]
