Elkhorn Valley Wind Farm spreads across the ridges of Pyles Canyon in Union County, Oregon. The site was chosen for its plentiful, steady winds and high-voltage transmission access. The wind farm consists of 61 Vestas V82 1.65 MW turbines and has an installed capacity of 101 MW - enough to power more than 30,000 Oregon homes with clean energy each year. Commercial operation began in the winter of 2007, and Idaho Power buys the wind farm’s green energy.
