The Great Plains of North America form one of the most consistent and powerful wind corridors on earth. Stretching from Texas to the Canadian border the corridor produces strong persistent winds that make onshore wind generation exceptionally productive. Atlas Ridge is positioned at an elevation that captures the full resource with turbines experiencing average wind speeds of more than nine metres per second year round.

The facility feeds directly into a major transmission node giving its output access to the broader regional grid and the population centers of the midwest and south.
