Nov 2, 2024, 05:41 PM
Washington Governor Jay Inslee has approved a significant plan for the Horse Heaven wind farm, which will be the largest of its kind in the state. This decision comes as state officials emphasize the urgency of expanding Washington's renewable energy portfolio, with Inslee stating that time is of the essence. The state currently meets 72.4% of its electricity demand through wind, water, and solar (WWS) sources, and this new wind farm is expected to further advance the state's goal of achieving 100% renewable energy. The project will be co-located with photovoltaic (PV) solar panels and battery storage systems. Additionally, Inslee has urged for swift approvals of turbine installations to expedite the development process.
