Largest wind farm built at once in North America begins operations in Oklahoma

The largest wind farm built at one time in North America has begun operations, providing energy to Oklahoma customers.

The Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) announced Monday that the Traverse facility is a 998-megawatt (MW) center in both Blaine and Custer counties, just outside of Oklahoma City. It is part of the 1,484-MW North Central Energy Facilities (NCEF) project.

In addition to the 356-turbine Traverse facility, the NCEF project includes the 199-MW Sundance wind farm, near Carmen, Oklahoma, that began commercial operation in April 2021, and the 287-MW Maverick wind farm, southwest of Enid, Oklahoma, which began in September 2021.

All three facilities have cold-weather packages for increased performance during extreme weather.
