Foote Creek II consists of a 3-turbine addition to the existing Wyoming Wind project (Foote Creek I). The 3-turbine Foote Creek II wind project generates enough energy to serve 662 homes, more than the number of homes in the city of Warm Springs, Oregon. With the addition of Foote Creek III and IV, the total megawatts (MW) for these 3 project phases is now 41.4 MW. That is enough to power over 12,500 homes. The Foote Creek project was built on native shrub steppe habitat. The project incorporates state-of-the-art measures to prevent harm to birds and a continuing program to evaluate the effectiveness of these measures. With an annual average wind speed of over 21 MPH, this area is considered one of the best wind sites in the contiguous United States.
