Biglow Canyon Wind Farm
Biglow Canyon Wind Farm is an electricity generating wind farm facility in Sherman County, Oregon, United States. It is owned by Portland, Oregon based Portland General Electric and began operations in 2007. With the completion of phase 3 of the project it has a generating capacity of 450 megawatts. It is located roughly five miles (8 km) northeast of Wasco, Oregon,〔 and about ten miles (16 km) southeast of Rufus, Oregon. Biglow Canyon Wind Farm covers in the Columbia River Gorge.
== History ==
In 2005, Orion Energy announced plans to develop a 450-megawatt wind farm with 225 turbines at Biglow Canyon in the Columbia River Gorge, at the time the largest project of its kind in Oregon.〔Hill, Gail Kinsey. Wind farm in gorge may blow others away. ''The Oregonian''. August 1, 2005.〕 Portland General Electric (PGE) acquired Orion’s development right to the $200 million project in 2006.〔Hill, Gail Kinsey. PGE power project rides on the wind. ''The Oregonian''. April 12, 2006.〕 In November 2006, PGE purchased the first 76 turbines for the project from Vestas, with the project cost increasing to an estimated $256 million for the first phase.〔Hill, Gail Kinsey. PGE has the wind and adds the mills. ''The Oregonian''. November 28, 2006.〕 PGE broke ground on the site in February 2007. In the middle of October 2007, ten Vestas V82 wind turbines were energized to produce the first electricity at Biglow.〔Sickinger, Ted. Demand for wind dwarfs supply. ''The Oregonian'', November 9, 2007.〕 The last of the 76 turbines in the first-phase of the wind farm development became operational in December 2007.〔( PGE Completes Biglow Canyon Wind Farm. ) ''Renewable Energy Access''.

The turbines for phase 2 and 3 were purchased from Siemens Energy. There will be 141 SWT-2.3-93 turbines, with a capacity of 2.3 MW each.〔(Siemens Energy to supply wind farm turbines. ) ''The Engineer Online''. Retrieved on 2009-01-26.〕 Phase 2 of the project was completed in August 2009, adding 65 turbines to the wind farm. The expansion brought generating capacity to 275 megawatts.〔 Phase 3 will add an additional 76 wind turbines, with the cost of phases two and three totaling $700 to $800 million.〔 Phase 3 will complete the project and allow for a maximum generating capacity of 450 megawatts, though the anticipated generation is estimated to average 150 megawatts.〔 The final phase was completed in September 2010, with the project totaling 217 turbines at a cost $1 billion.
