DUKE ENERGY ADDS 200 MEGAWATTS OF WIND
Sep 2, 2009

Duke Energy, the third largest electric power company in the United States, announced yesterday that it will be building a 200 megawatt wind farm near Casper, Wyoming.

Generating enough power for between 50,000 and 60,000 homes, the wind farm will be equipped with GE 1.5 megawatt turbines.

Also adding to its wind portfolio, Xcel Energy has just received approval from the North Dakota Public Service Commission for a 150 megawatt wind project. The company also received approval from the Minnesota Public Utilities for a 201 megawatt wind project.

According to reports, both projects are on schedule to begin operations in 2010 and 2011. Combined, they will generate enough power for 110,000 homes.
