60-Megawatt wind Farm Approved for Nebraska

LCG, May 17, 2004--A planned wind farm that would include 41 turbines has received a vote of support from the Nebraska Public Power District, which will now seek approval by the Nebraska Power Review Board.

The NPPD and Omaha Public Power District would each be investors in the wind farm, with the latter set to receive 10 megawatts of output. The share to be secured by NPPD would be 32 megawatts. Additional output would be assigned to Florida-based Jacksonville Electric Authority, Municipal Energy Agency of Nebraska, and the City of Grand Island.

Although the current size of the project is 60 megawatts, the total capacity could be expanded to 75 megawatts, provided more utilities agree to invest in the project. Financing for the wind farm will be provided by tax-exempt bonds.
