Similar Stories to Xcel Energy Adds To Its Wind Power With Completion Of Cheyenne Ridge On Eastern Plains on Bing News

Xcel Energy-Colorado has completed construction of the 500-megawatt Cheyenne Ridge wind farm on the Eastern Plains. The 229-turbine facility in Cheyenne and Kit Carson counties will provide enough energy to power about 270,000 homes, Xcel Energy said in a statement Wednesday. The project, owned by the utility, was completed ahead of schedule and began operating in August. Earlier in September, Cheyenne Ridge helped Xcel Energy set a record for hourly wind generation in Colorado when the wind power on its system served close to 70% of the energy for customers. “We are proud to bring our customers more of the clean, affordable renewable power they have been asking for,” Alice Jackson, president of Xcel Energy-Colorado, said in a statement. Cheyenne Ridge will help move Xcel Energy, Colorado’s largest electric utility, closer to its goal of reducing carbon emissions by 80% by 2030, the company said.
