 PROJECT
AT A GLANCE The proposed Sunshine Wind Park in eastern Coconino County is a the most fully developed and market-ready wind project in Arizona. Approximately 40 state-of-the-art wind turbines will provide 60 megawatts of generating capacity, enough electricity to serve the average annual electricity needs of more than 14,000 homes, or the equivalent of 66% of Flagstaff residences.
The wind park is targeted for development in the 2008-09 timeframe,
approximately 35 miles east of Flagstaff near the Meteor Crater
exit along I-40. Turbines will be sited on a combination of Hopi
private fee lands and private ranch lands.
The Sunshine Wind Park will help to ensure Arizona's power supply
by harnessing the wind for abundant, reliable, inexhaustible,
cost-competitive, pollution-free energy.
- The wind farm will be located on lands leased from the Hopi
Tribe, Bar-T-Bar Ranch and other private lands
- Sunshine Arizona Wind Energy, LLC, the developer of Sunshine
Wind Park, is a partnership of Northern Arizona investors and
Foresight Wind Energy,
LLC.
