Capital Power Corporation, based in Edmonton, Alberta, recently notifi ed Oregon regula- tors it will pursue the Nolin Hills Wind Power Project, which would generate approximately 350 mega- watts of renewable electricity. The company fi led what’s known as a Notice of Intent with the Oregon Department of Energy in September, announcing it will apply for a site certifi cate to build the project. Preliminary informa- tion shows the facility would be located on 44,900 acres with an 18-mile, 230-kilovolt transmission line to connect onto the energy grid. The precise number, size and layout of turbines has not yet been determined. Paul Wendelgass, director of business development for Capital Power Corporation, said the company hopes to have the wind farm completed by 2020 in order to qualify for the federal production tax credit, which currently pays 141st Year, No. 259 One dollar WINNER OF THE 2017 ONPA GENERAL EXCELLENCE AWARD Mistakes Canadian company plans Nolin Hills wind farm were made, 350-MW project would be built on private land 3D Idapro offi cials say 7 R 10, 201 BE Y, OCTO TUESDA 256 Year, No. 2.4 cents per kilowatt-hour but will phase down by 20 percent per year through 2019.
