Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources Incorporated; Houston, Texas). Zilkha Renewable Energy (Houston, Texas), with partner Kirmart Corporation (Wichita, Texas), is utilizing Vestas American Wind Technology Incorporated (Portland Oregon), the United States regional office for Vestas Wind Systems A/S (Ringkobing, Denmark), to expand Blue Canyon Windfarm in Comanche County, Oklahoma, near Medicine Park, from 74-megawatts (MW) to 225 MW.

The 74 MW Blue Canyon Phase I consisted of (45) NEG Micon (Randers, Denmark) NEG NM72/1650 1.65 MW wind turbine/generators. M.A. Mortenson Company (Minneapolis, Minnesota) managed Phase 1.

NEG Micon merged with Vestas in 2004.
