DOUGLAS â Wind turbines â majestic, metallic, monolithic giants â stand in intermittent long lines across the bare, winter windswept Wyoming landscape just a few miles outside of Douglas. There are a lot of them â 192, to be exact â changing the usual landscape visuals folks are used to seeing between WYO59 and WYO93.Â
WYO 59 cuts through the middle of the 499-foot tall towers, their blades slowly, methodically rotating as they create 533 megawatts of wind generated electricity. NextEra Energy Resourcesâ $650 million Cedar Springs Wind Farm, phases I, II and III â are online and fully operational as of Dec. 11, according to NextEraâs Project Manager Ryan Fitzpatrick.Â
