ELY, Nev. (AP) - Officials say construction of White Pine County's first commercial wind turbine farm could begin as early as next summer and bring up to 200 workers to the rural area.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management is currently finalizing Pattern Energy's plan of development for its Spring Valley wind project.
The Houston-based developer is hoping to start construction of the 160-megawatt wind farm late next summer or early fall. Officials say the project could be completed by mid 2011.
