EXCLUSIVE | Multiple turbine vendors may come away with supply orders this year for the 1.5GW first phase of the landmark Chokecherry and Sierra Madre (CCSM) wind project, Recharge has learned, underscoring the supply chain pressures within the booming US wind market.

Billionaire Philip Anschutz’s Power Company of Wyoming, which has been developing the 3GW CCSM project for nearly a decade in southern Wyoming, expects to award the turbine supply contracts for the 500-turbine first phase in 2017, says chief executive Bill Miller.
