EA-1516: Proposed Clipper Windpower, Inc. Low Wind Speed Turbine Demonstration Project, Carbon County, Wyoming

Summary

Clipper Windpower, Inc. (Clipper), in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Renewable Research Laboratory (NREL), has developed a proprietary low wind speed turbine design that is capable of producing more electricity in low wind speed conditions than comparable wind turbines. The Proposed Action would include the construction/installation of a single wind turbine, a single meteorological tower, a small service building, and buried powerlines and cables and would result in less than 10 acres of new short-and long-term disturbance.
