Duke Plans 200 MW Wind Farm Project in Wyoming

LCG, September 1, 2009--Duke Energy announced yesterday that it plans to construct the Top of the World Windpower Project, a 200-MW wind farm, near Casper, Wyoming. The project is scheduled to commence commercial operations in 2010.

The power generated from the project will be bought by Pacificorp under a 20-year, power purchase agreement (PPA). Pacificorp will also purchase all of the renewable energy credits (RECs) generated from the wind farm.

Duke Energy will build, own and operate the Top of the World Windpower Project, which will use a 17,000 acre footprint on both private and public land Duke holds under long-term lease in Converse County. According to Duke, the project will include at least 66, 1.5-MW turbines manufactured by GE. Construction is scheduled to begin late this year or early next year.
