AEP commissions 287 MW Maverick Wind Energy Center in Oklahoma

American Electric Power has announced the commercial operation of its 287 MW Maverick Wind Energy Center in north-central Oklahoma, USA.

Located southwest of Enid, Oklahoma, the Maverick wind farm is one of three wind projects that compose the North Central Energy Facilities. Together they will provide 1,485 MW of clean energy to customers of AEP’s Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) and Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) subsidiaries.

Invenergy is developing the North Central Energy Facilities, and PSO and SWEPCO assume ownership of each of the three wind projects following their commercial operation. In addition to Maverick, North Central Energy Facilities include the 199 MW Sundance project, which began commercial operation in April 2021, and the 999 MW Traverse project, expected to be operational in early 2022.
