ENSR to Prepare Environmental Impact Statement on Wyoming Wind Project

Power Company of Wyoming's proposed wind energy projects would use 1,000 turbine and would have an installed capacity of 2,000 megawatts (MW), establishing Wyoming as the third-largest wind energy generation state, behind Texas and California. The projects would be located partially on federal lands administered by BLM, and on interspersed private lands. Livestock grazing (the current land use) would continue after the project is developed.
 
“We are looking forward to analyzing a wind energy project at such a large geographic scale,” said Scott Ellis, ENSR’s director of Capital Permitting. “Wind power will have a prominent role in the expansion of America’s use of renewable energy resources. We are committed to assisting the BLM to prepare a technically sound and comprehensive EIS, since this project will likely serve as a model for future large wind energy developments on federal lands in the western U.S.”
