The applicant is requesting a change in zone classification on approximately 11,000-acres in order to allow for the construction of up to 350 wind turbine generators which would generate approximately 600 to 800 MW of energy. Implementation of the request would also entail construction of a project substation, an interconnection yard/switching station, on and off-site access roads, control cables, subsurface feeder line corridors and transmission lines necessary to serve the project.
