Elkhorn Valley Wind Farm
 

Pioneer Prairie Wind FarmElkhorn 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.
