Dominion said that, NedPower Mount Storm, whose construction began in 2006, is located about 120 miles west of Washington DC in Grant County, West Virginia. The project consists of 132 wind turbines along 12 miles of the Allegheny Front, and can generate enough electricity to serve about 66,000 homes and businesses.
Marvin Odum, president of the Shell Oil Company, said: “The NedPower Mount Storm project provides emissions-free power from a non-depleting source into a market serving the populous mid-Atlantic region of the US.
The delivery of this project contributes to the diversity of energy supplies we need to meet the energy challenge facing the US. With the completion of NedPower Mount Storm, Shell is involved in wind projects with an overall capacity of 1,100MW.”
Dominion is a producer and transporter of energy. It holds a portfolio of approximately 27,000 megawatts of generation, 1.1 trillion cubic feet equivalent of natural gas and oil reserves, 14,000 miles of natural gas transmission, gathering and storage pipeline and 6,000 miles of electric transmission lines, claims the company.
