Commercial Scale Wind Energy Development
Public-Private Partnership Brings Dry Lake Project Online
October 12, 2009

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar lauded on Monday the public-private partnership that developed the Dry Lake Wind Power Project that now feeds clean, renewable energy to homes and businesses in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. The Dry Lake Wind Power Project is located on a combination of the public lands managed by the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management, Arizona State Trust Lands, and private lands on the Rocking Chair Ranch in Navajo County. Phase I will generate 64 megawatts of wind energy with 30 wind turbines. When fully constructed, the project could provide up to 378 megawatts of wind energy from 100 to 200 turbines.
