New Wind Power Project to Provide Cheyenne With Renewable Energy
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ — Tierra Energy, LLC announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Happy Jack Windpower, LLC, has executed a 20-year renewable energy purchase agreement with Cheyenne Light, Fuel & Power, a wholly owned subsidiary of Black Hills Corporation (NYSE: BKH – News). The 30-megawatt (MW) Happy Jack Windpower Project will be the first generating project of its kind for Cheyenne Light, providing the region with a reliable source of environmentally friendly renewable energy.
On becoming fully operational in 2008, the project will provide Cheyenne and the surrounding community with roughly 100,000,000 kilowatt-hours per year of safe, reliable wind energy at a competitive price.
Happy Jack will benefit the local community by creating opportunities for area businesses, contributing to the local tax base, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil consumption, while reducing air pollution.
David Marks, president of Tierra Energy, said Tierra Energy is excited to bring wind power to Cheyenne and to support growing local demand for power supply. “Wind power is a rapidly growing and reliable power resource throughout the nation,” Marks said. “The ample wind resource available near Cheyenne makes it an ideal location for the operation of a wind-powered renewable energy project.” Entire story
