The Oklahoma Corporation Commission voted 3-0 to approve OG&E's comprehensive renewable energy program, which includes construction of a high-capacity transmission line between Woodward and Oklahoma City.

The cost of the plan to the average residential customer, including the cost of adding the new transmission line and new wind generation, as well as savings from using wind energy, is estimated at $1.50 per month in 2010.


"A high-capacity transmission line from Woodward to Oklahoma City is an important step in unlocking the full potential wind energy in western Oklahoma," said Pete Delaney, OG&E chairman, president and CEO. "The approval of our plan by the Commission is a significant development in providing the benefit of wind energy to our state."
Quote:
OG&E submitted a request to the Commission in May, detailing its commitment to quadruple its wind energy capacity in the state to at least 770 megawatts. An important first step is the 115-mile, 345 kilovolt transmission line between Woodward and Oklahoma City.
Not too shabby for a bunch of hicks, eh?

The future of energy is wind and natural gas, which Oklahoma has gobs of.

I think the times here will be very good for a while.

Generally OG&E has handled this astutely. When the first wind farm went up they sold subscriptions in 100-kilowatt blocks to gauge demand; every last megawatt was subscribed. (I bought six blocks.)
