Project Location:
The Mustang Run Wind Project is located approximately 13 miles west of Pawhuska, Oklahoma. The project sits entirely within Osage County.
Project Interconnection:
Transmission lines running near the project are owned and operated by KAMO (AECI) and Public Service of Oklahoma (AEP). Both lines are rated at 138 kV and would serve load in northeast Oklahoma or be exported into Missouri and AECI’s network.
Project Size:
150 MW
Project Turbines:
To be determined.
Landowners and Acreage Involved:
Mustang Run Wind Project encompasses approximately 16,000 acres.
Utility Buyers:
The power to be produced by the Mustang Run Wind Project is currently being marketed to local and regional utilities.
Project Developer:
The developer of the Mustang Run Wind Project is TradeWind Energy, LLC (“TradeWind”), which is headquartered in Lenexa, Kansas. The senior managers of TradeWind have over 100 years of combined experience in the independent power development business including acquisitions and project development across the United States, Europe, Canada, and the Caribbean, as well as significant regulated utility experience.
Key Project Attributes:
- The 150 MW Mustang Run Wind Project would produce enough power for approximately 45,000 Oklahoma homes.
- The project will only take a small amount of acreage (1% to 2%) out of service, including land for roads, turbine foundations, and maintenance buildings.
- The project is one of the most energetic wind development sites in northeast Oklahoma.
- Once fully developed, the project will pay approximately $2 million a year in total annual landowner payments.
- The project will utilize significant local labor and materials for its construction and operations and will generate significant economic benefits to the local community.
- 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.
- The project 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
