[QUOTE="Chief Sapulpa, post: 3014983, member: 18458"] GE Renewable Energy and Invenergy have announced plans for a new 2,000-megawatt facility that when fully operational in 2020, will provide electricity to 1.1 million users, with a generating capacity of 2-gigawatts. The Wind Catcher facility is currently under construction in the Oklahoma panhandle and will generate wind electricity from 800 state-of-the-art GE 2.5 megawatt turbines. The wind facility is part of the $4.5 billion Wind Catcher Energy Connection that also includes an approximately 350-mile dedicated, extra-high voltage power line. American Electric Power (AEP) utility subsidiaries Public Service Co. of Oklahoma (PSO) and Southwestern Electric Power Co. (SWEPCO) are asking utility regulators in in Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma to approve plans to purchase the wind farm from Invenergy upon completion of construction and to build the power line to serve PSO and SWEPCO’s more than 1.1 million customers. The wind farm and transmission line are expected to save utility customers more than $7 billion over 25 years, said the [URL='https://invenergyllc.com/news/invenergy-and-ge-renewable-energy-announce-americas-largest-wind-farm'][U]companies' press release.[/U][/URL] American Electric Power estimates that the project will support approximately 4,000 direct and 4,400 indirect jobs annually during construction and 80 permanent jobs once operational.
