The wind is blowing at Force 6 for EGP's plants in the United States. With the grid connection of the Little Elk and Goodwell wind farms, EGP now operates six wind farms in Oklahoma that make up 40% of the company's total capacity in North America and produce enough energy to meet the annual consumption needs of over 330,000 U.S. households, while avoiding the emission of around two million tonnes of CO per year.

The wind farms of Little Elk and Goodwell are the latest signings in EGP's portfolio.

Their entry into service means that, in 2015 alone, EGP has brought online over 420 MW of wind capacity in Oklahoma, more than any other operator in the state.

Little Elk has a total installed capacity of 74 MW and is able to generate more than 330 GWh per year, enough to meet the annual energy needs of about 27,000 U.S. households, while avoiding the emission of around 240,000 tonnes of CO into the atmosphere each year.

As one of the largest wind farms in the EGPNA portfolio, the Goodwell plant is expected to generate approx. 860 million kWh annually, enough to meet the energy needs of over 73,000 US households and avoid the emission of nearly 450,000 tons of CO into the atmosphere each year.

Enel Green Power in North America currently owns and operates over 95 plants in 21 U.S. States and two Canadian provinces. As of today, the company has a total installed capacity of more than 2,300 MW, which is diversified among four generation technologies, namely wind, geothermal, solar and hydro.
