Golden Hills Wind Project
Golden Hills Wind Project is a electricity generating wind farm facility in Sherman County, Oregon.[1] The original plan in 2009 by BP Alternative Energy was to generate a peak of 400 megawatts, with an average of 133 MW of wind power across 200,000 acres (81,000 ha) using up to 267 wind turbines.[2][3] A new plan with 51 turbines generating 200 MW was expected to begin construction in 2021.[4] It began operation in 2022.[5]
