Duke Energy Wind Power Moving Well
The intent of Duke Energy to build a 66-turbine wind power project remains on schedule to start construction this spring, thanks to a unanimous vote by a state environmental commission to approve the project’s permit. With the need for more energy alternatives, it seems that this breakthrough broadens the options that Casper, Wyoming will have in the future.
The Campbell Hill project will generate 99 megawatts (MW) of clean, renewable energy when it comes on line at the end of the year. Duke Energy expects to receive the permit to build the Campbell Hill project from the state in April, after which construction will begin.
PacifiCorp, which operates as Rocky Mountain Power in Wyoming, will purchase all of the power from the project as part of a 20-year agreement announced in September 2008. Wind turbines at the Campbell Hill site will be capable of producing power for approximately 25,000 to 30,000 homes annually.
