Wind farms moving forward soon: Invenergy, PPM plan to submit applications this winter

<snip>

The Invenergy project, called the Grand Ridge Wind Energy Center, is planned to include 35 to 66 turbines along the ridgeline through Grand Rapids and Brookfield townships.

If completed, the turbines would combine to produce about 50-100 megawatts of power.

But PPM is planning to move ahead with plans for its Cayuga Ridge project, which will result in a string of wind turbines south of Ransom running through Allen and Otter Creek townships and into northern Livingston County near Odell and Blackstone.

PPM said that project could generate 200 to 600 megawatts, translating into 133-400 turbines.

1. Whew! This is good news. At first I got a War-of-the-Worlds image of windmills marching across the

land. Bent on taking over the world. (note to self: don't go to sleep with DVD player on).
