The Public Service Commission (PSC) of Wisconsin will hold public hearings on Wisconsin Electric Power Co.'s (WEPCO) application to construct the Glacier Hills Wind Park in Columbia County, Wis.
The public hearings will be held Nov. 4 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. at Randolph Town Hall, with administrative law judge Michael Newmark presiding.
WEPCO, doing business as We Energies, filed an application with the PSC on June 18, 2008, for approval to construct the electric generation facility. The project consists of 90 wind turbines with a total capacity of up to 207 MW.
The turbines would be located in a project area of approximately 17,300 acres and would be connected together by underground electrical cables. The wind farm would be connected to an existing 138 kV electric transmission line that traverses the project area via a new interconnection substation.
Public comments on WEPCO's application will be included in the record the PSC will review to make a decision.
