Completion of 3 GW Wyoming wind project moved to 2026
The 3 GW Chokecherry and Sierra Madre (CCSM) wind complex in Wyoming is planned to be fully switched on in 2026. Carbon County commissioners have approved Power Company of Wyoming LLC’s request to extend the construction period for what will be the state’s largest wind park from eight to 11 years. The developer needed more time to take into account market demands, workforce schedules, and material availability.
The huge project will be installed in two phases, the first one of which envisages the addition of up to 500 turbines totaling 1.5 GW. The plant will be located south of Sinclair and Rawlins in Wyoming’s Carbon County. It is expected to generate electricity for consumers in Wyoming and California.
