FERC denies petition against Douglas wind farm

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has denied a petition against two wind farms south of Douglas. A group of residents in the area has been fighting to stop Wasatch Wind from going through with the projects. They contended the company had improperly divided its proposal into two projects to take advantage of federal rules favoring smaller projects. But the federal commission last week said it would not examine the group's claim. Wasatch Wind spokesman Michelle Stevens says that the company has followed the law. The company plans to begin construction this spring.
