Dempsey Ridge Wind

Powering the United States’ transition toward a low-carbon economy 
Only %1 left

Project Overview

Oklahoma is a traditionally rural region where agriculture and mineral resource extraction are the principal economic pursuits. Introducing sustainable infrastructure to this area not only provides an energy supplement to the region, but encourages a switch to more sustainable economies by making renewable infrastructures more viable.

Solution Description

The Dempsey Ridge project activity is a zero emissions, grid-connected, electricity generation sourced from wind energy with each turbine having a capacity of 2 MW. The facility delivers power into the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) Regional Transmission Organization (RTO).The electricity generated by the project dispaces electricity generated from existing fossil fuel plants in the Southwest region.

Impact

The electricity delivered to the grid by the project would have otherwise been generated by the operation of the largely non-renewable power plants. With the consistent supply of clean energy from this project, the project furthers the renewable energy market in the region as well as in the USA; 46,000 homes in Oklahoma and surrounding states are now powered with renewable energy from the project. Beyond the environmental benefits of displacing fossil fuel emissions from the atmosphere, the project has boosted economies by providing temporary and permanent jobs to local workers during project construction and operations.
