The Sundance Wind Energy Center is part of a larger group that includes two other projects – the 999 MW Traverse Wind Energy Center and the 287 MW Maverick Wind Energy Center. The three wind farms are located in seven counties in north-central Oklahoma: Alfalfa, Blaine, Custer, Garfield, Kingfisher, Major and Woods. The three 1.48 GW wind farms, which, when completed by 2022, will generate enough energy to power 440,000 homes, with a total of 531 GE turbines. The project represents a combined investment of $ 2 billion. The Maverick and Traverse wind farms are expected to come on stream later this year and early 2022, respectively, according to Renewables Now.

“Completing Sundance is an important milestone for AEP and our customers as we continue to build a clean energy future,” said Nicholas K. Akins, President, President and CEO of AEP, by NA Wind Power. “North Central will ensure that we can provide clean, reliable power to our customers in Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma – while saving them approximately $ 3 billion in electricity costs in the region. over the next 30 years. ” “We continue to transform the AEP generation fleet with investments in new wind and solar energy and modernize the grid to support the integration of more renewable resources and new technologies.” GE Renewable Energy, part of the conglomerate General Electric, was chosen as the supplier of the wind turbines used in the three facilities, equipping them with 492 of its 2.X-127s turbines and 39 2.X-116 machines with different nameplates and hub heights.The North project Central Wind is the second western hemisphere onshore project over 1 GW that GE will build continuously, said Tim White, CEO of GE Renewable Energy’s Onshore Wind Americas business.
