OGE Energy Corp. (OGE) Friday said that the Oklahoma Corporation Commission issued two orders authorizing the company's purchase of electricity from new wind farms currently being developed in northwestern Oklahoma. The company said the OCC orders clear the way for OG&E's customers to receive electricity from a 150-megawatt wind farm being constructed by CPV Keenan in Woodward County and a 130-megawatt facility being built by Edison Mission Energy in Dewey County near Taloga.
The Commission approved 20-year power-purchase agreements, under which the developers would build, own and operate the wind farms and OG&E would purchase their electric output.
