A Wyoming company has released its plans to erect a 300-turbine wind farm near Wheatland and Chugwater in the southeast part of the state. Cheyenne-based Wyoming Wind and Power proposes to build a 900-megawatt wind farm on private land in eastern Platte County and western Goshen County. It hopes to begin production in 2016 with full operations by December 2019. Ryan Fitzpatrick, company vice president of business development, says the area chosen for the wind farm has great wind resources. The proposed wind farm would be split into two main parcels - one about five miles east of Wheatland and the other about two miles south of Chugwater. The facility will also generate about 30 full-time positions during normal operations.
