ConnectGen gets interconnection permit for 504 MW wind project in Wyoming
The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) has approved two interconnection requests related to Rail Tie Wind Project, a proposed 504 MW wind energy generation facility in Albany County, Wyoming by ConnectGen. The Record of Decision (ROD) comes after the release of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in November 2021 and documents the completion of the federal authorities to connect the project to the WAPA transmission grid, which was completed after an extensive environmental review in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act.
The Rail Tie Wind Project will represent a capital investment of more than US$500 million in Albany County and the State of Wyoming, generating approximately US$130 million in state and local tax revenues during construction and over the project's life.
The project is located on state land for 20% of its total area, and annual wind lease payments to the Office of State Lands and Investments will fund Wyoming's public schools and institutions.
