Oregon (TGW) – The construction of the world’s largest wind farm to date took a big step forward this week when the Oregon Energy Facility Siting Council gave its approval of the project.
The Shepherd's Flat Wind Farm will have 303 wind turbines and a peak capacity of 909 megawatts.
The current largest wind farm in the world is Horse Hollow in Texas at 736 megawatts and 421 turbines.
Oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens has plans to build a 4000 megawatt farm by 2014.
