PacifiCorp subsidiary Pacific Power last week announced a new 70.2-MW wind project near its recently completed Marengo facility in the hills near Dayton, Washington. Construction on the Marengo II project will begin this month.

Like Marengo I, it was developed by RES America Developments, Inc., and will be constructed under contract by RES America Construction, Inc. Marengo II is scheduled to begin commercial operation in June 2008, and will use 39 Vestas 1.8-MW turbines.

With completion of the 140.4-MW Marengo I project in August, the company now owns and operates more wind generation than any other electric utility in the Pacific Northwest, the company said.

The company also said it continues to actively seek additional renewable resource options, with more announcements expected in coming months.
