Built in 2001, Aquila's Gray County Wind Farm is the largest wind farm in Kansas. It has 170 turbines with the generating capacity of 112 megawatts - enough electricity to power 33,000 homes. Although the towers are spread over 12,000 acres, only 6 acres are directly used for tower sites and roads. To visit the Gray County Wind Farm take US Highway Highway 56 to Montezuma, Kansas, about 25 miles west of Dodge City. The Wind Farm surronds the community of Montezuma.
