Project Location:
The Rocky Ridge Wind Project is located in North-Central Kiowa and South-Central Washita Counties near the towns of Hobart, Rocky, and Sentinel, Oklahoma.

Project Interconnection:
The project is to connect directly into the Hobart Public Service of Oklahoma (PSO) Substation.
Project Size:
150MW (75-100 Turbines) for Rocky Ridge Phase I, later phases could consist of another 300MW.
Project Turbines:
To be determined.
Landowners and Acreage Involved:
Rocky Ridge encompasses 80,000 acres and over 200 landowners.
Commercial Operation:
Rocky Ridge will be built in phases. The commercial operation date for the first phase could be as early as 2011, while later phases will be dependent on future transmission capacity and market conditions.
Utility Buyers:
The power to be produced by Rocky Ridge Wind Project is currently being marketed to local and regional utilities.
Project Developer:
The developer of the Rocky Ridge Wind Project is TradeWind Energy, LLC (“TradeWind”), which is headquartered in Lenexa, Kansas. The senior managers of TradeWind have a combined 80 years experience in the independent power development business including acquisitions and project development across the United States, Europe, Canada, and the Caribbean, as well as significant regulated utility experience.
Key Project Attributes:
- Rocky Ridge has the potential to be the largest wind project in the State of Oklahoma.
- If all phases are completed, Rocky Ridge will produce enough power for approximately 150,000 Oklahoma homes.
- The project will take only approximately 1-2 percent of land out of service to build, including all land for roads, turbine foundations, and maintenance buildings.
- Rocky Ridge is one of the most energetic wind development sites in Southwestern Oklahoma.
- The project will utilize significant local labor and materials for its construction and operations and will generate significant economic benefits to the local community.
- The project fits well with the surrounding area in terms of the existing infrastructure and commercial activities and enjoys broad community support from landowners and local Government Agencies.
- Rocky Ridge, when completed, will offset approximately 1,500,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, 5,000 tons of NOx per year, and 7,000 tons of SO2 per year.
- The project is expected to have no material effect on any Threatened and Endangered species of birds or animals based on third party studies commissioned by TradeWind Energy.
