Decision to Execute a Power Purchase

Agreement for the Wyoming Wind

Plant Project

AGENCY: Bonneville Power

Administration (BPA), Department of

Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Notice of availability of Record

of Decision (ROD).

SUMMARY: BPA has decided to execute a

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to

acquire a 15.32 megawatt (MW) share of

nominal project capacity from the

Wyoming Wind Plant Project (Project).

This PPA will allow BPA to: (1) Test the

ability of wind energy to provide a

reliable, economical, and

environmentally acceptable energy

resource; (2) assure consistency with

BPA’s statutory responsibilities; and (3)

assure consistency with BPA’s April 22,

1993, Resource Programs ROD. This

notice announces the availability of the

ROD to execute the PPA, relying on the

Kenetech/PacifiCorp Windpower Project

Environmental Impact Statement

(Project EIS) (DOE/EIS–0255 August,

1995). Because the Bureau of Land

Management (BLM) has jurisdiction

over part of the land on which the

Wyoming Wind Plant Project will be

located, it was the lead agency on the

EIS. BPA, as a cooperating agency with

the BLM, adopts the Project EIS in this

ROD.

Project EIS may be obtained by calling

BPA’s toll-free document request line:
