Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Wind Energy Project. 220,000 acres of federal land in Carbon County, Wyoming. Installed 1000 turbines. Average wind speed 9.2 meters\/sec. year around.<\/p>\n
Project required a HVDC and HVAC line called the TransWest Express. Longest onshore HVDC transmission line in the US. 732 miles of high-voltage transmission infrastructure consisting of two systems: a 3,000 MW direct current (DC) segment with terminals near Sinclair, Wyo., and Delta, Utah; and a 1,500 MW alternating current (AC) segment from the Utah terminal to southern Nevada.<\/p>\n
Turbine capacity factors averaging 48 percent.<\/p>\n
Ranchers whose land the project crosses receive annual lease payments of 85,000 dollars per family.<\/p>\n
