Spanish Fork wind farm praised at dedication
Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. and officials with Wasatch Wind and Edison Mission Group — which together spearheaded the project — are praising the farm, saying wind energy reduces carbon dioxide and creates a more environment-friendly resource.
The farm at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon has nine wind turbines and can produce enough power for about 6,000 homes. The turbines are connected through a power line to a substation in Spanish Fork. The power is then provided to Rocky Mountain Power, which has a 20-year contract with the farm.
