BP Wind Energy and Sempra U.S. Gas & Power have announced plans to further expand their strategic relationship by jointly developing the Mehoopany Wind Farm in Pennsylvania and the Flat Ridge 2 Wind Farm in Kansas that represent a combined investment of more than US$ 1 billion.
Both wind farms are fully-contracted under long-term agreements, and are expected to be in commercial operation by year-end 2012. The wind farms will have a combined total output of 560MW. Construction of the Mehoopany Wind Farm site began in November 2011. The wind farm will utilize 88 GE 1.6 MW wind turbines (141MW). The Flat Ridge 2 Wind farm will utilize 262 GE wind turbines each with a rated capacity of 1.6MW to generate 419MW of renewable power. BP will be the operator of both wind farms when they become commercially operational.
