Abstract:The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is considering a proposal from the State of Colorado, Office of Energy Conservation for funding the construction of the Ponnequin Wind Project in Weld County, Colorado by Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo). PSCo along with its contractors and business partners would jointly develop the Ponnequin Wind Project. The first phase would involve the construction of seven wind turbines in 1997. Assuming public demand for the electricity produced, up to seven turbines are scheduled for construction in 1998. Depending upon consumer demand and the success of the first two phases of the project, an additional 13 turbines would be constructed for a total of 27 turbines within the 416-acre project area which is located on private land. The State of Colorado Office of Energy Conservation has requested funding from the DOE Commercialization Ventures Program to assist in the construction of the Ponnequin Wind Project and the marketing of its electricity through the development of a Green Pricing Program.
