$700 million Klickitat
County The Cannon Power Group yesterday celebrated the commissioning of Phase I of its Windy Point/Windy Flats project near Goldendale in Klickitat County. Expected to be finished in 2010, Windy Point/Windy Flats will be one of the largest wind projects in the world—26 contiguous miles of ridgeline along the Columbia River—covering over 90 square miles. Its anticipated capacity of over 500 megawatts of renewable energy will generate enough clean electricity for more than 250,000 households per year and will displace at least 800 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually. “We are very pleased to be part of something that has really helped turn this community around,” said Gerry Monkhouse, founder and chairman of San Diego-based Cannon Power Group. The project is creating more than 150 jobs over the next two years. As now planned, the project’s estimated total capital investment in Klickitat County is over $700 million.
