“We simply feel it’s best to allow the legal process to play out before proceeding with construction,” says Michelle Stevens, senior vice-president of communications at Wasatch. The affected 50MW Pioneer Wind Park 1 and nearby 50MW Pioneer Wind Park 2 are fully permitted, she says.
Stevens tells Recharge that Wasatch could not comply with contractual terms requiring Pioneer Wind Park 1 to begin delivering electricity to Rocky Mountain Power in October.
