Blue Canyon is located near Lawton, Oklahoma

The Blue Canyon Wind Farm, being built in partnership with Kirmart Corporation, is located on one of the best wind sites in Oklahoma. Located approximately 15 miles northwest of Lawton, Oklahoma, Blue Canyon will offer robust transmission resources to areas served by all the major utilities and electric cooperatives in the state.

Western Farmers Electric Cooperative (WFEC) will buy all 74.25 megawatts (MW) of the electricity produced from the first phase of Blue Canyon, enough to power approximately 22,300 Oklahoma homes.

This is the first such agreement to purchase energy produced from an environmentally friendly wind farm in Oklahoma. The 20-year purchase agreement will provide wind power to WFECâ™s 19 rural electric cooperatives that serve farms, rural residences, towns, and commercial/industrial customers in approximately two-thirds of rural Oklahoma.

The Blue Canyon Wind Farm Project will produce as much as 300 megawatts of affordable pollution-free electricity when all phases of construction are complete. In addition to power generation, the Project will bring new jobs and tax revenues to surrounding counties.
