The wind farm will be renamed OU Spirit and will supply renewable energy to the University of Oklahoma (OU) through a wind power agreement between OU and the Oklahoma Gas & Electric Company (OG&E).
CPV has developed the wind farm, located south of Woodward, Oklahoma, as the initial phase of a multi-phased project expected to reach commercial operation starting in late 2009.
The project will utilize 44 Siemens 2.3MW wind turbines and will be constructed under an agreement with Tetra Tech EC. CPV expects Phase-II of the Keenan project to begin commercial operations in 2010.
Sean Finnerty, senior vice president of Competitive Power Ventures, said: Through its innovative agreement with OU and purchase of the initial phase of the CPV wind project, OG&E has again taken a leadership role in promoting wind energy in Oklahoma.
