County OKs 1,000-turbine wind farm in Wyoming

Carbon County officials approved a 1,000-turbine wind farm, which now goes to a state board for review.

The county’s three commissioners heard several hours of comments from members of the public on Tuesday before unanimously approving a conditional use permit for the Chokecherry and Sierra Madre wind energy project, which would be the largest wind farm in the country.

The 2,000-3,000-megawatt project’s developer, Power Co. Of Wyoming, must now bring the massive wind farm before the Industrial Siting Council, a state board that reviews large industrial projects.
