The new plant, which is owned by Origin Wind Energy, a subsidiary of Enel GreenPower North America, will have a total installed capacity of 150 MW and can generate up to 650 GWh of electricity per year.
The wind farm, which is expected to be completed and enter service by the end of 2014, will hold the capacity to avoid the emission of around 700,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.
The new project is associated to a 20-year agreement for purchasing electricity (PPA) that will be produced by the wind farm, and will add to the 150 MW Rocky Ridge and 235 MW Chisholm Viewwind farms that are currently operating in Oklahoma.
In North America, the total installed capacity of EGP is about 1,265 MW and it generated around 25 billion kWh in 2012 from water, sun, wind and Earth’s heat that meet the energy needs of about 10 million households.
