| The Buckeye Wind Project – Champaign and Logan County, OH | |
| Everpower is currently
developing a project covering more than 12,000 acres in central Ohio.
The project will occupy a glacial plateau consisting of primarily
farm land. Meteorological data collected from two locations indicate
strong wind resource. Preliminary environmental and technical studies
commenced in spring 2007. Everpower is confident that this project
will prove to be a valuable source of renewable energy for the state
and the region while providing substantial benefits to the community. Project Characteristics Location: Central Ohio Project Size: 100+ MW in two or more phases Developer: Everpower Renewables Owner: Everpower Wind Holdings, Inc. Project Status • Landowner negotiations underway • Wind Resource data collection underway • Interconnection application in progress • Construction expected in 2009 Economic and Environmental Benefits • The Ohio wind project will make payments to the local community. • Construction of the project will require local labor as well as logistic and materials resources. • The operation and maintenance of the project will require 5 to 10 full time employees. • Studies show that Ohio could gain more than 13,000 manufacturing jobs as a result of nation-wide investments in wind power. • Compared to tradition power generation technologies, the Ohio Project could offset - CO2 emissions by nearly 600 million pounds per year - SO2 emissions by over 4.3 million pounds per year - NOx emissions by over 1.2 million pounds per year For more specific project information and updates please visit www.buckeyewindproject.com |
