Acciona plans wind farm for western OKELK CITY, Okla. (AP)--Acciona Energy said, Sept. 24, it has begun construction on its first Oklahoma wind project: a wind farm in two western counties that will include 82 turbines. The Spanish-based company has been developing Red Hills Wind Farm project since 2004 and said construction should be finished by the end of this year. Seventy of the 1.5 megawatt turbines will be in Roger Mills County, while 12 will be in Custer County. "Just as Oklahoma is well known for its oil and natural gas reserves, it will also come to be known for its incredible wind reserves," said Kimberly L. Smith, the vice president for construction and O&M services for Acciona Energy North America. Construction of the wind farm will involve leveling the ground at the turbine sites, laying tower foundations, constructing access roads and operations buildings, developing distribution and transmission lines and erecting the support towers. 10/6/08 Date: 9/30/08 Advertisement
