ROCKY RIDGE WIND PROJECT, a 149 MW Wind power plant in Kiowa County, Oklahoma. Operated by ROCKY RIDGE WIND PROJECT LLC, commissioned 2012.
How ROCKY RIDGE WIND PROJECT compares
With 149 MW of capacity, ROCKY RIDGE WIND PROJECT ranks 31st among the 73 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Oklahoma and 7th of the 23 operating Wind plants in the state. It accounts for about 4.9% of Oklahoma's operating Wind capacity and 0.6% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 146th-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.
EIA-860 lists 1 generator at the site with 149 MW of nameplate capacity, all onshore wind turbine technology. Net generation was 259 GWh in 2024 (a 20% capacity factor), down 55% from 2022.

Weather peril exposure
ROCKY RIDGE WIND PROJECT is a 149 MW wind power plant in Kiowa County, OK, operated by ROCKY RIDGE WIND PROJECT LLC, commissioned in 2012. Kiowa County carries critical modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 4.8 of 5 at the 94th national percentile. Strong wind is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 98th 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.
Kiowa County hazard ratings
| Peril | FEMA rating | National percentile | Peril score | Events per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strong wind | Relatively Moderate | 98th | 4.9 of 5 | 4.8 |
| Ice storm | Relatively Moderate | 95th | 4.8 of 5 | 1.1 |
| Tornado | Relatively Moderate | 94th | 4.8 of 5 | 0.88 |
| Hail | Relatively Moderate | 93rd | 4.7 of 5 | 10.1 |
| Wildfire | Relatively Low | 79th | 4.2 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Winter weather | Relatively Low | 77th | 4.1 of 5 | 7.8 |
| Lightning | Very Low | 76th | 4.0 of 5 | 49.4 |
| Earthquake | Very Low | 71st | 3.8 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Heat wave | Relatively Low | 66th | 3.6 of 5 | 11.0 |
| Riverine flooding | Very Low | 48th | 2.9 of 5 | 1.0 |
| Hurricane | Very Low | 30th | 2.2 of 5 | <0.01 |
Perils not assessed in Kiowa 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.
