PORTLAND, Ore. -- For the second time in less than a month, an Oregon utility has announced plans to build a new wind energy facility in Wyoming.

Crews work to get equipment under the huge wind turbine.

PacifiCorp plans to build the Seven Mile Hill Wind Energy Development Project in eastern Carbon County near Rawlins, Wyoming. The new turbine farm will consist of 66 wind turbines with a generating capacity of 99 megawatts.

It will join the 99-megawatt wind project planned for a reclaimed surface coal-mine site near Glenrock, Wyoming, which was announced by the Portland-based utility last month.

When completed in October 2008, the Seven Mile Hill project will help supply electricity to one-point-seven million PacifiCorp customers in six Western states.
