Wyoming's geography of high-altitude prairies with broad ridges makes the state an ideal site for the development of wind resources. Other factors that positively affect Wyoming's wind power development potential include transmission capabilities, [5] the high energy needs of nearby population centers, [5] high public support of wind power development in the state (97% support), [6] and the ...
Wind resource map of Wyoming at 50 m (164 ft) above ground. The wind farm will be located within an isolated patch of "outstanding" wind energy potential at the center-bottom of the state. The project is proposed to generate 2,000 to 3,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity and construction may take 3–4 years with a project life estimate of 30 years.
Screenshot of the Global Wind Atlas website (version 2.2) The Global Wind Atlas is a web-based application developed to help policymakers and investors identify potential high-wind areas for wind power generation virtually anywhere in the world, and perform preliminary calculations. It provides free access to data on wind power density and wind ...
Mount Bonneville (12,590 feet (3,840 m)) is located in the Wind River Range in the U.S. state of Wyoming. [3] The summit is located in the Bridger Wilderness of Bridger-Teton National Forest, immediately west of the Continental Divide.
Roberts Mountain is located 2.5 miles east of the Continental Divide in the remote Wind River Range.It is the highest point in the Wind River Indian Reservation as well as the central portion of the range, [4] and it ranks as the 55th-highest in Wyoming. [1]
The Top of the World Windpower Project is a 200 megawatt wind farm located near Casper, Wyoming, USA. The project, operated by Duke Energy, was constructed on approximately 17,000 acres (6,900 ha) of land held under long-term lease in Converse County. The Top of the World Windpower Project began operation in 2010. [1]
