Wyoming – No transmission, no projects: Developed wind power would double state’s electric output

Wyoming wind power, if reasonably developed, would more than double the amount of electricity produced by all other sources in the state, a representative of the Wyoming Infrastructure Authority said Wednesday.

Wyoming wind ultimately could produce about 15,000 megawatts a year, Steve Ellenbecker told the Wind Energy Task Force at the McMurry Training Center.

"Fifteen-thousand megawatts is a threshold we could accomplish," Ellenbecker said.
