Key Project Attributes:
- Rocky Ridge will produce enough power for approximately 45,000 homes.
- The Project will take only approximately 1-2 percent of land out of service to build, including all land for roads, turbine foundations, and maintenance buildings.
- Rocky Ridge is one of the most energetic wind development sites in Southwestern Oklahoma.
- The Project is expected to contribute over $3 million annually in direct payments to the local community via property taxes and rent payments to approximately 100 landowners whose properties will host the turbines or easements.
- The Project enjoys broad community support from landowners and local Government Agencies.
- Rocky Ridge Phase I, when completed, will offset approximately 450,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, 1,500 tons of NOx per year, and 2,100 tons of SO2 per year.
- The Project is expected to have no material effect on any Threatened and Endangered species of birds or animals based on third party studies commissioned by TradeWind Energy.
