Sierra Pacific and RES to Co-Develop New Wind Farm
Posted on: Friday, 16 November 2007, 12:00 CST
Sierra Pacific Resources and Renewable Energy Systems Americas have announced that they are in discussions to jointly develop and operate the China Mountain wind project.
Located at the Nevada-Idaho border on a combination of federal, state and private lands, the proposed China Mountain project is expected to generate more than 200MW of electricity.
Scott Piscitello, director of development for RES, said: "RES is excited at the prospect of working with Sierra Pacific to complete development of the China Mountain project. The combined efforts of our two companies will enable the earlier development and construction of a cost-effective wind energy project that is sensitive to the environment and that brings significant economic benefits to the surrounding communities."
The project will go through a rigorous environmental review process as required under the National Environmental Policy Act. The project will use large-scale wind turbines to produce electricity to deliver energy to Sierra Pacific's power grid.
