General Electric has won a contract to build the biggest wind farm in the United States in Oregon. The wind farm will be located in Shepherds Flat, Oregon and when completed will be the biggest wind farm in operation in the world.

The wind farm will cover 30 square miles and will produce 845 megawatts of power, enough to power 235,000 homes. Shepherd Flats is located in Morrow County, in the Northeast portion of Oregon. It is primarily agricultural land, covering an area of 2,047 square miles, but borders the Columbia River, a national scenic area.
