Spokane A drought-stricken West is bracing for what is expected to be a hot, dry summer and its strain on a regional power grid that some believe is certain to fall short of demand and leave many in the dark.
LIND â Commercial operations are now underway at Avista Utilities and Clearway Energy Group s Rattlesnake Flat wind farm in Adams County.
Avista Utilities and Clearway Energy Group began construction in April of Rattlesnake Flat, which is located on 20,000 acres of privately-owned land near Lind.
The 160-megawatt Rattlesnake Flat consists of 57 wind turbines that will provide enough energy to power 38,000 homes per year, officials said. The turbines connect to Avista s transmission grid as part of a 20-year purchase power agreement between the Spokane-based utility company and San Francisco-based Clearway Energy Corp.
Avista Corp. CEO Dennis Vermillion said during a virtual ceremony on Tuesday that Rattlesnake Flat aligns with the utility company s goal of providing clean, reliable energy to customers at a reasonable cost.
