WPSC to Acquire 150MW of High Country Energy Wind Project
Posted on: Monday, 17 March 2008, 12:00 CDT
Wisconsin Public Service Corporation has signed a letter of intent to acquire a 150MW portion of the High Country wind project.
The High Country Wind Energy Park, located in Dodge and Olmsted counties, Minnesota, is planned to include a total of over 300MW. As proposed, the first phase will include an estimated 100 turbines, providing up to 150MW of capacity, or enough energy to power 44,000 homes.
The energy from the first phase will be delivered to Wisconsin Public Service Corporation's (WPSC) service territory, consisting of a large portion of northeast and central Wisconsin and a small part of upper Michigan.
Charlie Severance, general manager for renewable resources at WPSC, said: "At WPSC, we are committed to the communities we serve and dedicated to helping them improve their local economies. For this reason, we are excited to work closely with High Country Energy and the local landowners, helping them build an economically viable project for their community.
"The wind power generated from this project will help us secure an important competitive and efficient energy resource for our growing customer base in Wisconsin."
