NewPage Corporation is partnering with US Wind Force, LLC on the Pinnacle Wind Farm at NewPage project, a 23-turbine wind farm located in Keyser, W. V., just over the Maryland state line. Six of the turbines will be on NewPage property adjacent to the Luke mill in Allegany County, Md.
US Wind Force, LLC recently filed a Thirty-Day Notice of Intent with the Public Service Commission of West Virginia, the first step in obtaining a siting certificate for the project.
When completed, the turbines will generate approximately 55 megawatts, or 169 million kilowatt hours of energy, annually—enough to power over 14,000 households annually, according to a news release.
