Energy companies operating three Eastern Oregon wind farms were awarded more than $140 million in federal grants Tuesday in a fast-track process that saw their applications submitted and approved in 30 days.

The cash grants, part of the Obama administration’s economic recovery program, are intended to jumpstart renewable wind, solar, geothermal and biomass energy projects while providing jobs. The grants will offset the cost of building Horizon Wind Energy’s Wheat Field wind farm in Arlington and Iberdrola Renewables’s Pebble Springs and Hay Canyon wind farms in Arlington and Moro, respectively.
