Big Horn

Located in Washington's Klickitat County, along the Columbia River and approximately 25 miles from Klondike Wind, the Big Horn project has 133, 1.5-MW GE turbines. The project supports the local economy through royalty payments to about five landowners and property tax payments to Klickitat County. More than 100 jobs were created during the peak of construction and the facility employs six to eight full-time employees during operation. While the entire project spans approximately 15,000 acres, the actual footprint of the turbines and associated facilities uses less than one percent (about 70 acres) of the total acreage. Landowners will continue using the remainder of the land for wheat farming and grazing.
