Dry Lake Wind Power Project
Starting in 2009, it was constructed in two phases having a total generating capacity of 128.1 megawatts (MW), and is selling the electricity to the Salt River Power District (SRP).He studied the local power grid to determine the feasibility of connecting a wind farm.Navajo County and Iberdrola officials credit Gaglioti and Elkins with attracting the first wind farm to Arizona.Based on wind measurements before construction began, Iberdrola estimated phase 1 would produce an average of 132,450 MWh annually.[4] (*) partial year of operation According to the USDOE, each 1000 MW of wind power capacity installed in Arizona will save 818 million US gallons (3,100,000 m3) of water per year and eliminate 2.0 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
