The 100-megawatt (MW) Wildhorse Mountain Wind Facility in Pushmataha County, Okla., is now operational, according to the facility’s owner, Southern Power.
“Wildhorse Mountain Wind Facility is our fourth wind project in the state of Oklahoma, and we are pleased to see this project achieve commercial operation,” Southern Power CEO Mark Lantrip said. “This additional facility showcases our commitment to the development of wind energy and is an excellent addition to our growing renewable fleet.”
The electricity generated by the facility are being sold under a 20-year power purchase agreement to Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation (AECC).
The 29 wind turbines at the Wildhorse Mountain Wind Facility will be maintained and operated by Vestas through a service agreement with Southern Power. Southern Power, a subsidiary of the Southern Company, is responsible for the balance of onsite plant operations.
Southern Power bought the facility in May 2018 from Renewable Energy Systems (RES). RES served as the developer and constructor of the site. The project aligns with Southern Power’s strategy of acquiring and developing projects covered by long-term contracts.
Southern Power and its affiliates now produce more than 2,058 MW of wind power. It is part of the company’s 4,454-MW renewable energy fleet, which consists of 40 solar and wind facilities operating or under construction.
