EWEB's newest source of wind power, the Harvest Wind project, is located 20 miles east of
Goldendale, Wash., just a few miles north of the Columbia River. The project was completed
in December 2009 and features 43 wind turbines that can collectively generate almost 100
megawatts of electricity. EWEB owns 20% of the project.
Project co-owners include Cowlitz Public Utility District, Peninsula Light Company and
Lakeview Green Energy, all of Washington.
Power generated by Harvest Wind will be delivered to the Bonneville Power Administration's
transmission grid for south-central Washington. EWEB initially plans to sell its share of
the output on the wholesale market, and in later years will use the output to supply its
customers in Lane County.
