Oklahoma Ponders Tax on Wind Energy, Hosts Nearly $5 Billion in Active Wind Projects

SUGAR LAND--March 2, 2017--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Oklahoma recently proposed a new tax on wind generation that would be the highest in the nation. In a recent State of the State address, Gov. Mary Fallon (R) also proposed ending state-wide tax incentives earlier than previously planned. The new tax would have to be passed by three-quarters of the State House and Senate, and could generate more than $36 million in revenue. Industrial Info is tracking $4.98 billion in active wind projects in Oklahoma.
