Mega power utility Pacific-Corps proposes to build six wind farms that could supply enough electricity for over 1-million homes in Wyoming and other states by 2024. The Portland, Oregon-based company announced the plan this week.
The wind farms would add more than 1,600 megawatts of power capacity in Wyoming. Combined with PacifiCorp’s plans for solar, battery power and transmission proposals, the utility would add 3,200 megawatts of capacity. PacifiCorp isn’t saying yet where specifically the projects will be built.
A report in the Casper Star-Tribune says the proposals would concentrate wind development in Wyoming and Idaho, and solar and battery development in Utah and Oregon
