Wind energy (or wind power) refers to the process of creating electricity using the wind, or air flows that occur naturally in the earth’s atmosphere. Modern wind turbines are used to capture kinetic energy from the wind and generate electricity.
BPWE owns and operates the Flat Ridge 1 wind farm and is the operating partner in the Flat Ridge 2 wind farm, both located west of Wichita. Spanning over 70,000 acres in Barber, Harper, Kingman and Sumner counties, these two farms have 314 turbines with the capacity to generate 520 MW of electricity, or enough…
DIY wind turbine seems like a daunting project, but for a clean, free, and renewable energy source, you shouldn’t think twice. Trying my hand at living off the land, I’ve realized the need to harness renewable energy sources. If you’re like me, who can’t stand the noise of a generator and the stench of gas, consider…

Photo Courtesy of the National Renewable Energy Lab Wind energy is an important source of renewable energy that helps reduce carbon emissions. Unfortunately the turbines and development of infrastructure can harm wildlife and their habitat. But it’s not a choice between wind energy and harm to wildlife as long as wildlife impacts are considered and…
Home wind turbines are electric generators that convert wind energy into clean, emission-free power. Although most large wind farms exist to power certain towns and communities, there are also smaller wind turbines for homes and homeowners. These smaller turbines can be installed on any part of your property to cover some or even all of…
Wind energy is an energy source that comes from the wind. This wind is converted into wind power and used as a source of electricity. The process of wind energy conversion is completed by wind turbines, wind pumps, and wind mills. Wind power is a good source of electricity because it is a renewable source…
