CANADIAN HILLS WIND, a 299 MW Wind power plant in Canadian County, Oklahoma. Operated by CANADIAN HILLS WIND LLC, commissioned 2012.
How CANADIAN HILLS WIND compares
With 299 MW of capacity, CANADIAN HILLS WIND ranks 22nd among the 73 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Oklahoma and is the largest of the 23 operating Wind plants in the state. It accounts for about 9.9% of Oklahoma's operating Wind capacity and 1.2% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 13th-largest of the 708 operating Wind plants in the database. Commissioned in 2012, it is newer than 87% of the 72 operating Oklahoma plants with a recorded commissioning year. It shares Canadian County with 2 other operating plants, MUSTANG and CANA GAS PROCESSING PLANT.
EIA-860 lists 1 generator at the site with 294 MW of nameplate capacity, all onshore wind turbine technology. Net generation was 304 GWh in 2024 (a 12% capacity factor), down 54% from 2022.
Grid neighborhood
The nearest named substation is DARLINGTON ROAD, about 5.8 miles away; the closest transmission line found within 10 miles is a 345 kV line owned by OKLAHOMA GAS & ELECTRIC CO, under 0.1 miles away. Another 6 operating power plants totaling 1,164 MW sit within 25 miles; the largest is MUSTANG (613 MW, Natural Gas).

Weather peril exposure
CANADIAN HILLS WIND is a 299 MW wind power plant in Canadian County, OK, operated by CANADIAN HILLS WIND LLC, commissioned in 2012. Canadian County carries critical modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 4.8 of 5 at the 95th national percentile. Ice storm is the leading peril, rated Very High by FEMA at the 97th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a wind plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
Canadian County hazard ratings
| Peril | FEMA rating | National percentile | Peril score | Events per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ice storm | Very High | 97th | 4.9 of 5 | 1.4 |
| Hail | Relatively High | 95th | 4.8 of 5 | 11.1 |
| Lightning | Relatively Low | 75th | 4.0 of 5 | 50.8 |
| Tornado | Relatively High | 71st | 3.8 of 5 | 1.0 |
| Wildfire | Relatively Low | 70th | 3.8 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Heat wave | Relatively Moderate | 64th | 3.6 of 5 | 16.8 |
| Winter weather | Relatively High | 60th | 3.4 of 5 | 9.6 |
| Riverine flooding | Relatively Moderate | 60th | 3.4 of 5 | 1.4 |
| Earthquake | Relatively Low | 48th | 2.9 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Strong wind | Relatively Moderate | 17th | 1.7 of 5 | 5.6 |
| Hurricane | Very Low | 13th | 1.5 of 5 | 0.01 |
Perils not assessed in Canadian County
These perils carry no usable National Risk Index figure for this county, so they are excluded from the scoring rather than scored zero. A zero would claim the peril was assessed and found benign.
