Ridgeline Energy and BP Wind Energy are beginning construction on what will be the largest wind project in the state.
The construction site for the Goshen North wind farm in Bonneville County, when fully operational, will have a generating capacity of 124.5 megawatts (MW) and will be the largest wind facility in the state of Idaho.
Located on an 11,000 acre site about 10 miles east of Idaho Falls, the Goshen North wind farm will use 83 GE xle wind turbine generators, each with a rated capacity of 1.5 MW. The project will employ approximately 250 workers during peak construction and is expected
to be in commercial operation by year end. The balance of plant contract has been awarded to Mortenson Construction.
“We are excited about commencing Goshen North construction and furthering our commitment to wind energy development in Idaho,” Ridgeline Energy CEO Steve Voorhees said.
Goshen North and Ridgeline’s other Idaho wind energy projects will help diversify the region’s energy supply while continuing Idaho’s tradition of clean energy generation.
When operational this wind farm has the potential to deliver more than 380 million kilowatt hours of clean, renewable electricity every year, BP Wind Energy president John Graham said.
“The investment that BP and Ridgeline Energy are making will create new jobs during construction, deliver an additional revenue stream to rural communities without impacting traditional farming and ranching, and provide clean, affordable power,” he said in a release. “The cooperation of the landowners, county officials, contractors and sub-contractors has been key to enabling this project to reach today’s milestone.”
The Goshen North wind farm is a joint development venture between Ridgeline Energy and BP Wind Energy. The power from the Goshen North wind farm has been sold under a long-term power purchase agreement to Southern California Edison and will generate enough carbon-free electricity to power approximately 37,000 average American homes. BP Wind Energy will be the operator of the wind farm.
