BPA is proposing to interconnect the proposed Leaning Juniper III Wind Project into the Federal Columbia River Transmission System (FCRTS). To interconnect the wind project, BPA would need to expand its existing Jones Canyon Substation in Gilliam County (see attached map). The proposed substation expansion would require about one acre of land. BPA currently owns this land.
Iberdrola Renewables, Inc. proposes to independently build, own, and operate the Leaning Juniper III Wind Power Project and its associated facilities. Iberdrola requested to interconnect up to 200 megawatts of electricity generated from their proposed Leaning Juniper III Wind Power Project in Gilliam County, Ore. to the FCRTS. BPA would build, own and operate the expanded substation. |
