Ph. 509-382-2043 The Lower Snake River Wind Facility is Puget Sound Energy’s newest and largest wind-power operation. Completed in early 2012, the facility is the largest wind farm, to date, in Washington. Combined with PSE’s other two WA facilities, PSE is the largest utility producer of wind power in the Northwest and second-largest in America. Lower Snake River-Phase I contains 149 wind turbines, manufactured by Siemens Energy. Each turbine has 2.3 megawatts MW of generating capacity – enough to power about 700 homes. The turbines stand 430 feet from the ground to the tip of a vertical blade, with rotors measuring 331 feet in diameter. The site also contains two large substations, 64 miles of underground power lines that collect the project’s power output, and 8 miles of overhead, high-voltage transmission lines that move the turbines’ power onto the Bonneville Power Administration’s regional transmission grid. A permit is required to walk the area. Permits are issued online at this link: http://ps
