• Pomeroy I was constructed in 2007 and contains 82 GE Energy 1.5sle turbines with a combined nominal capacity of 123 MW.
• Pomeroy II was constructed in 2007 and contains 50 GE Energy 1.5sle turbines with a combined nominal capacity of 75 MW.
• Pomeroy III was constructed in 2008 and contains 39 GE Energy 1.5sle turbines with a combined nominal capacity of 58.5 MW.
• Pomeroy IV was constructed in 2011 and contains 13 Siemens SWT-2.3-101 turbines with a combined nominal capacity of 29.9 MW.
In total, these 4 Pomeroy wind farms contain 184 wind turbines with a nameplate capacity of 286.4 MW.

On the ground, the individual turbines for phases I, II & III are intermingled with each other, although Pomeroy III's turbines are generally to the west and north. I have not been able to distinguish between phases I and II. The 13 turbines of Pomeroy IV are all located south of the railway between Pomeroy and Fonda.
