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.
Thereâs a lot of them â 192, to be exact â changing the usual landscape visuals folks are used to seeing between WYO59 and WYO93.
WYO59 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 Windfarm, phases I, II and III â are online and fully operational as of Dec. 11, according to NextEraâs Project Manager Ryan Fitzpatrick.
The company broke ground on the project in October 2019, and had cited Dec. 31 as their completion date.
