Big Horn Interconnection
Big Horn Wind Power LLC has submitted a generation interconnection request to BPA to integrate up to 200 megawatts (MW) of power generated from the Big Horn Wind Project in Klickitat County, Wash. to the Federal Columbia River Transmission System (FCRTS).
Interconnection required BPA to build a 230-kilovolt (kV) switching station called Spring Creek Substation that looped into the Midway-Big Eddy 230-kV transmission line. Spring Creek Substation will provide a terminal for Big Horn Wind Power LLC to connect an 11-mile 230-kV line from their collector substation.
Schedule
Construction was completed on the Spring Creek Substation in July 2006. PPM energized their wind farm and collector facilities in 2006. A tiered Record of Decision under the Business Plan Environmental Impact Statement
was issued in March 2005. As a result of the tiered ROD, BPA offered contract terms for interconnection of
200 MW of power from the wind project into the FCRTS.
