WIND POWER IN WYOMING

Settler wind project

in development

AES’ Settler project is a planned wind generation facility in Converse County, Wyoming. The project will be located on privately owned lands located 20 miles southeast of Casper, Wyoming and will incorporate the most advanced wind generation technology. The 150-megawatt (MW) project will diversify the state’s energy resources while delivering reliable and affordable renewable energy to customers in Wyoming.
