RAWLINS, WYOMING - Rocky Mountain Power is proposing to build up to three more big wind energy projects in Albany and Carbon counties over the next few years.

Project manager Pam Jackson says two of Rocky Mountain's new wind farms are to be called the High Plains and McFadden Ridge projects. Applications for state Industrial Siting Commission permits are slated to be submitted in July.

The 99-megawatt High Plains project is expected to be producing power by June 2009, and the 88-megawatt McFadden Ridge project is scheduled to be operational by December 2010. A total of 125 turbines are planned between the two projects. A third, unnamed wind project also is in the works.
