BEF Wind Energy Projects Include:
White Creek Wind Project
The White Creek Wind Project is the first large-scale wind project in which BEF was a direct financial
participant at the development stage, and is the nation’s largest wind project owned by public power
providers. The 205 MW project will use 89 Siemens 2.3 MW wind turbines, producing enough power
for 38,000 residences.The project is built on 9500 acres of ranchland, with ranching continuing up to
the turbine tower bases.
Project Partners: Klickitat PUD, Cowlitz PUD, Lakeview Light & Power, and Tanner Electric Co-op.
Location: Roosevelt, WA (21 miles east of Goldendale)
Capacity: 205 MW
Placed into Service: August 2007
Condon Wind Project
The Condon project was built on private farmland, primarily used for dryland wheat and barley
farming, as well as cattle grazing. Agricultural activities continue to take place near the turbine pads.
The Condon wind project generates enough energy to serve 10,513 homes. The project uses
Mitsubishi 600 kW turbines (83 in all), which stand 197 feet tall at the turbine hub and 274 feet tall
including the turbine blades.
Project Partners: Sea West Windpower, Bonneville Power Administration
Location: Gilliam County, OR (five miles northwest of the town of Condon).
Capacity: 49.8 MW
Placed into service: June 2002
Foote Creek Wind Project II, III, and IV
Foote Creek II consists of a 3-turbine addition to the existing Wyoming Wind project (Foote Creek I).
The 3-turbine Foote Creek II wind project generates enough energy to serve 662 homes, more than
the number of homes in the city of Warm Springs, Oregon. With the addition of Foote Creek III and
IV, the total megawatts (MW) for these 3 project phases is now 41.4 MW. That is enough to power
over 12,500 homes. The Foote Creek project was built on native shrub steppe habitat. The project
incorporates state-of-the-art measures to prevent harm to birds and a continuing program to evaluate
the effectiveness of these measures. With an annual average wind speed of over 21 MPH, this area is
considered one of the best wind sites in the contiguous United States.
Project Partners: Cinergy Global Resources, Sea West Wind Power, Bonneville Power Administration
Location: Carbon County, WY
Capacity: Foote Creek II -- 1.8 MW; Foote Creek III -- 24.75 MW; Foote Creek IV -- 16.8 MW
Stateline Wind Project
The Stateline project has a total capacity of 300 Megawatts, making it one of the largest wind projects
in the world. The project is located entirely on private farmland, which is primarily used for dryland
wheat farming and cattle grazing. Agricultural activities take place adjacent to the turbine pads. The
Stateline Wind project consists of 399 turbines (660-kW Vestas turbines).
Project Partners: Florida Power and Light, Pacificorp Power Marketing, Bonneville Power
Administration
Location: Southern Walla Walla County, WA and Umatilla County, OR
Capacity: 300 MW
Placed into service: July 2001
Klondike Wind Project I and II
The Klondike project site is privately owned farmland, currently used for dryland wheat farming.
Agricultural activities can take place next to the turbine foundation pads. The Klondike wind project
generates enough energy to serve 6,126 homes, nearly the number of homes in the city of Pendleton,
Oregon. The Klondike I facility consists of 16 General Electric turbines, producing 1.5-MW each.
Klondike II added 50 more General Electric turbines. The turbines are about 213 feet tall at the turbine
hub, and about 328 feet tall including the turbine blades.
Project Partners: Northwestern Wind Power Inc., Bonneville Power Administration
Location: Sherman County, OR (9 miles south of the Columbia River and 7 miles east of Wasco, OR)
Capacity: 99 MW (24 MW in Phase I, and 75 MW in Phase II)
Placed into service: December 2001 (Phase I); October 2005 (Phase II)
Nine Canyon Wind Project
The Nine Canyon Wind Project is located approximately eight miles southeast of Kennewick, WA.
Nine Canyon consists of fortynine Bonus Energy A/S 1.3 MW turbines, and is currently the largest
public power wind station in the country. Phase I of the project began with 37 turbines operating in
September 2002. An additional 12 turbines were included with Phase II of the project, about a year
later. A third phase of the project is expected to be online by early 2008. The project was developed
by Renewable Energy Systems (RES), and is owned and operated by Energy Northwest to provide a
renewable energy source for local public utilities.
Project Partners: Renewable Energy Systems, Energy Northwest, multiple local public utilities in the
Northwest
Location: Benton County, WA
Capacity: 63.7 MW
Placed into service: September 2002 (Phase I); December 2003 (Phase II)
Leaning Juniper Wind Project
Leaning Juniper was initially developed by PPM Energy and purchased by Pacificorp in July of 2006.
It is located on 5,000 acres of property owned by Waste Management Disposal Services of Oregon,
Inc. in a buffer area surrounding their landfill, approximately three miles southwest of Arlington, OR.
PPM installed 67 GE 1.5MW turbines for this project for a total capacity fo 100.5 MW. Electricity
produced from the project should meet the energy demands of approximately 30,000 households in
Pacificorp's territory.
Project Partners: PPM Energy, Pacificorp
Location: Arlington, OR
Capacity: 100.5 MW
Placed into service: August 2006
Wilton Wind Energy Center
This project was developed by FPL Energy (FPL) and is located about three miles southeast of the
town of Wilton, ND and approximately 18 miles north of the capital city of Bismarck. The 8,000-acre
wind produces enough power for 30,000 homes. The Wilton facility consists of 33 General Electric
turbines, producing 1.5-MW each. Another 33 turbines are in the works for an upcoming second
phase of the project.
Project Partners: FPL, Basin Electric Power Cooperative, Otter Tail Power
Location: Wilton, ND
Capacity: 49 MW
Placed into service: June 2006
Edgeley/Kulm Wind Energy Center
The Edgeley/Kulm Wind Center is North Dakota's largest wind farm. Agricultural activities can take
place next to the turbine foundation pads. Electricity produced from the project is expected to meet
the energy demands of approximately 15,000 North and South Dakota households. The project
consists of 27 1.5-MW GE turbines.
Project Partners: Florida Power & Light; Basin Electric Cooperative
Location: LaMoure County, ND
Capacity: 61.5 MW

Gray County Wind Farm developed by Florida Power and Light Energy (FPL) and is located on 6,000
acres of farmland just east of Montezuma, KS, thirty miles west of Dodge City in the central
southwestern portion of the state. The project is on developed farmland, with agriculture activities
continuing around the turbines. Kansas conservation groups have endorsed the project. The project
uses 170 Vestas turbines, and produces enough energy to meet the energy demands of approximately
33,000 midwest households.
Project Partners: Florida Power & Light, Aquila
