In 2010 Oklahoma adopted a goal of generating 15% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2015. Wind power accounted for 18.4% of the electricity generated in Oklahoma during 2015. At the end of 2015, Oklahoma's installed wind generation capacity was 5,184 megawatts. During 2017, wind power accounted for 31.9% of the electricity generated in Oklahoma, and installed capacity at the end of 2017 was 7,495 megawatts, the state being second in terms of installed capacity.
In 2017, companies announced plans for the 2,000 MW Wind Catcher project in the Oklahoma Panhandle, which would be among the world's largest wind farms when completed in 2020.
The Blackwell Wind Farm is a 60 megawatt project sold under a long term contract to Oklahoma Gas and Electric (OG&E) and uses the output from the wind project to supply the Oklahoma State University, Stillwater with clean alternative energy. The Blackwell project is located less than 70 miles from the city of Stillwater.
This geoart is a tribute to this amazing resource and will take you nearby these massive engineering marvels that may some day be responsible for all of Oklahoma's electricity.
