The Kingdom Community Wind (KCW) project, which includes 21 turbines, will provide power for about 24,000 homes with the lowest-cost new renewable energy available to the company’s customers and the members of the Vermont Electric Coop (VEC).
Construction will consist of two affiliated projects, the first being the construction of the turbines, which will be complete and running by the end of next year.
The second includes upgrades to VEC’s transmission system between Lowell and Jay.
With construction beginning, GMP is on schedule to ensure that KCW is operating by the end of next year.
Green Mountain Power president and CEO Mary Powell said in addition to producing clean and reliable power for the customers and VEC members, KCW is the most affordable new renewable energy available.
