PPM Energy has announced the construction of the Klondike III Wind Project near Wasco, Oregon, USA.
Klondike III is expected to be commercially operational in 2007. Located in Sherman County adjacent to PPM’s existing Klondike I and Klondike II Wind Power Plants, Klondike III is expected to generate 221MW of electricity. Klondike III will use 44 Siemens 2.3MW wind turbines and 80 GE 1.5MW wind turbines. PPM Energy is in discussions with a number of entities for the sale of energy and renewable energy credits from the project. Klondike III, combined with the recently completed 100MW Leaning Juniper project, which was subsequently sold to PacifiCorp, brings the total to 321.7MW of Oregon wind projects completed or under construction by PPM this year.
