PSO Makes WindCatcher Changes

No WindCatcher.com

The Public Service Company of Oklahoma and the city of Bixby come to terms over the Windcatcher project. The utility says it will now stay with in its right of-way and will use smaller towers for transmission lines.

A substation will not be built in Bixby,  but southwest of the town.

The multi-Billion dollar project would bring wind energy from western Oklahoma --- 380 miles east--- to a Jenk power station.

The announcement was made by PSO at last night's Bixby City Council meeting.
