The legislature s Joint Revenue Committee once again considered and voted against a bill that would have raised the generation tax on wind. This time from $1 per megawatt hour to $2 per megawatt hour. The bill would have also removed a three-year tax exemption enjoyed by wind energy producers.
The Legislative Service Office alongside the Wyoming Department of Revenue prepared estimates of how that might change the state s revenue picture. With both the changes, Wyoming s general fund and local governments could collectively see a roughly $27 million boost by 2029 based on current and future wind capacity from permitted wind projects.
