Walker Ridge Wind Energy Project
The Bureau of Land Management has announced that it intends to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) on the impacts of the proposed Walker Ridge Wind Project in Lake and Colusa counties and is seeking public input on issues that should be addressed.
AltaGas Renewable Energy Pacific, Inc. has applied for a right-of-way (ROW) authorization covering 8,157 acres on public lands for a 70-megawatt wind energy project with an interconnection to the Pacific Gas & Electric's 115-kilovolt (kV) distribution system.
As proposed by the company, the wind project could include 29 to 42 wind turbine generators, an underground electrical collection system, a substation, a 115-kV overhead transmission line, an interconnect station, an operations and maintenance building, and access roads.
