Energy Central recently reported Clearway Energy Group has began construction on the 160 megawatt Rattlesnake Flat wind farm near Lind in Adams County, according to iFIBER One News.
Blattner Energy will be the lead contractor on the project which consists of constructing 57 turbines as well as a project substation, transmission line, and an operations and maintenance building. The facility is set to launch operations later this yearunder a 20-year contract with Avista Utilities.
“Amid this global crisis, we're proud that partners like Blattner share our commitment to safety and health and have enabled us to navigate the challenging circumstances in a way that prioritizes the well-being of our people and communities,” Craig Cornelius, CEO of Clearway Energy Group told Energy Central. “As we deepen our roots in Washington and Adams County, we will continue seeking opportunities to offer any support to those hardest hit by this crisis.”
The Rattlesnake Flat construction project is expected to create up to 250 jobs and invest millions of dollars in eastern Washington.
