Skookumchuck Wind Farm Up and Running
It's the 12th operational wind farm for Southern Power and the company's first in the state of Washington in the northwest of the U.S.
“Skookumchuck Wind Facility is our first wind project in the state of Washington, and we are pleased to see this project achieve commercial operation,” said Southern Power President Bill Grantham. “The addition of this facility showcases our commitment to the development of wind energy and is an excellent addition to our growing renewable fleet.”

Southern Power acquired Skookumchuck Wind Facility in October 2019. Renewable Energy Systems served as the developer and constructor of the site, which created more than 380 jobs at peak construction.
