| PPM announces Leaning Juniper Wind Project PPM Energy announced the construction of the Leaning Juniper Wind Project near Arlington, Ore. Leaning Juniper is expected to be commercially operational later this year. Leaning Juniper is expected to generate 100 megawatts of electricity. Typically, a 100 MW wind farm can provide clean, renewable electricity to more than 30,000 homes. The Leaning Juniper project will use 67 1.5 MW GE turbines. The entire project spans approximately 5,000 acres of buffer lands adjacent to the Arlington landfill, which is operated by Waste Management. However, the actual footprint of the turbines and associated facilities uses less than 2% of the total acreage. Landowners will continue using the remaining land for wheat farming and grazing. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
