Both transactions accelerate Duke Energy’s continued growth in renewable energy. Duke Energy will begin building the Campbell Hill Windpower project near Casper, Wyoming, early in 2009. The facility’s 66 wind turbines will begin generating electricity by late 2009.
Separately, Duke Energy executed an agreement to purchase the GE wind turbines for its 2010 wind power generation projects. By the end of 2008, Duke Energy will have more than 50MW of wind-powered generation projects in operation and an additional 5,000MW in development.
