EGP’s 148MW Rocky Ridge and 235MW Chisholm View wind farms, both in Oklahoma, achieved load factors of between 60% and 65% and daily output totalling above 5GWh during high winds in the first two weeks of the year.

US wind – with 22GWh – was a big contributor to EGP’s global output of 114.3GWh on 5 January – a new record for the company.

Wind delivered a total of 67GWh of that figure and was almost two-thirds above its estimated figure on the day in question.
