Wind roars to a record 4,039 MW in the Northwest

Wind power has not always had an easy time making it onto a Pacific Northwest grid dominated by hydropower. But late in the afternoon on March 11, the turbines, mostly clustered near that wind tunnel called the Columbia River Gorge, spun fast and furious and grid operators found room for a record 4,039 megawatts (MW).

How much is 4,039 MW? More than double the energy that the coal, gas and nuclear plants connected to the Bonneville Power Administration system were providing at the time, BPA said [ PDF].
