Putting wind to work for Carbon County

Power Company of Wyoming LLC's Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Wind Energy Project is a 1,000-turbine wind farm to be located south of Rawlins in Carbon County, Wyoming. The proposed project will permanently use less than 2,000 acres of a 320,000-acre ranch owned and operated by an affiliate company. With the potential to generate approximately 2,500 megawatts of clean energy, the project will ensure a reliable, cost-effective supply of renewable electricity that's unmatched in the West. This output will help America reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, diversify energy sources and meet growing demand for renewable energy. At the same time, the wind project will generate hundreds of good jobs, millions of dollars in tax revenue and other economic benefits for Carbon County.
