Duke Energy Adds 200 MW To Its Wind Power Portfolio

By Jeff Siegel
Tuesday, September 1st, 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.

Editor's Note: From solar and wind to geothermal and biofuels, Green Chip readers want to know which renewable energy resource will take over where fossil fuels leave off. The answer is...all of the above!

There is no one single solution to today's energy crisis. However, the combination of all viable renewable energy resources, coupled with energy efficiency, conservation and smart grid development will not only lead us to energy independence and a cleaner, more sustainable energy infrastructure — but also to what will soon prove to be the greatest investment opportunity of the 21st Century.
