At 750 megawatts, BP&#8217;s zero-emission Fowler Ridge Wind Farm in Benton County is the largest wind farm east of the Mississippi River and generates enough carbon-free electricity to power more than 120,000 homes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/P><\/p>\n<p><strong>About American Wind Energy Association<\/strong><br \/>\nWINDPOWER is hosted by the American Wind Energy Association.
