Oklahoma | Rose Rock Location Rose Rock Wind Farm will be located on Oklahoma ranchland amoung the Arbuckle Mountains in Murray and Carter Counties. The turbines will be approximately 15 miles north of Ardmore on the rolling, windy landscape of south central Oklahoma. Energy Output Rose Rock Wind Farm will have an installed capacity of 100 megawatts (MW) – enough to power approximately 25,717 average homes with clean energy each year.1 Benefits to the Community Rose Rock Wind Farm will contribute significant economic benefits to the surrounding community in the form of payments to land owners, local spending, and annual community investment. The development, construction, and operation of the wind farm will also generate a significant number of jobs in the area. Environmental Benefits Rose Rock Wind Farm avoids adding over 166,090 tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere per year, the equivalent of removing 29,293 cars from the road.2 Blue Canyon Wind Farm O&M Office 3109 State Highway 19.

Serving more than 114,00 residential and 15,000 commercial and industrial customers, LES provides electricity to 200 square miles within Lancaster County in Nebraska. Technology The Rose Rock Wind Farm will incorporate 50 turbines rated at 2 MW each. These modern wind turbine generators are robust, sophisticated, high-tech machines designed to capture the kinetic energy of the wind and convert it into electricity. Wind turbines consist of three main parts: the tower, the blade and the nacelle. Most of the action takes place inside the nacelle, where the motion of the wind turning the blades is converted into electricity. The blades are attached to a shaft that runs into a gearbox. The gearbox steps up the speed of rotation, which then turns the generator producing AC electricity. Electricity must be produced at just the right frequency and voltage to be compatible with the utility grid. 280,320 Rose Rock 3,321,792 MWh of clean has supported metric tons of CO2 energy generated permanent displaced over the annually local jobs farm’s lifetime About Us EDP Renewables North America (“EDPR NA”) and its subsidiaries develop, construct, own and operate wind farms throughout North America.
