Wind Projects



Condon

The power generated from the Condon Wind farm is collected at the Condon Wind Substation where the 34.5-kilovolt (kV) collector lines are stepped up to 69-kV using a substation transformer. The 69-kV DeMoss-Fossil transmission line taps the Condon Wind substation, joining the BPA electrical grid.

BPA provided metering, tap structures, relays, SCADA, and a communication radio link from the Condon Wind Substation to BPA's Wasco radio station. Additionally, BPA provided remedial action scheme (RAS) service due to the limited capability of this line.
