wind farm

Wind turbines can catch fire for a number of reasons

Construction is estimated to cost about $1 billion.

The wind farm south of Rawlins is expected to include up to 1,000 wind turbines.

Solar power often gets attention for efficiency gains but many U.S. utilities also are working to squeeze more megawatts out of wind, PacifiCorp spokesman Spencer Hall said.

Construction manpower is expected to peak at 265 workers in July 2020, but will average 125 workers over the 17-month construction period.

Roundhouse Renewable Energy, LLC is seeking to build a wind energy facility nine miles west of Cheyenne.

The details of what has pushed both companies to pursue legal action are confidential.
