Ekola Flats is part of PacifiCorp’s Energy Vision 2020 initiative, a US$ 3.1 billion investment to expand wind power via repowering existing projects, adding 1,150MW of new wind resources by the end of 2020, and building a 140-mile transmission line segment in Wyoming to enable wind generation. The order includes supply and commissioning of the turbines as well as a 12-year service agreement. Turbine delivery is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2020, with commissioning scheduled for the third quarter of 2020.
