Wyoming committee rejects higher tax on wind generation

The move was a huge relief for developers who have been working on various projects in Wyoming, which has the best onshore wind resource in the US.

These include the Anschutz Corporation’s 3GW Chokecherry and Sierra Madre (CCSM) and Venezuela-based Viridis Eolia Corporation’s 840MW Little Medicine Bow.

The 14-member Joint Revenue Committee voted against sending a bill that would have increased the tax to $3/MWh to the legislature for a vote.
