Harnessing wind power

We Energies purchases rights to 2 projects from Minneapolis = company

By THOMAS CONTENT
tcontent@journalsentinel.com=

We Energies plans to own and develop two wind farms in Fond du Lac = County=20 after the company bought rights to the projects from Navitas Energy Inc. = of=20 Minneapolis.

In a deal announced Wednesday, We Energies paid for the engineering, = leases=20 and permits for two 80-megawatt projects, the Blue Sky wind farm in the = Town of=20 Calumet and Green Field wind farm in the Town of Marshfield. The = adjacent=20 projects are in northeastern Fond du Lac County.

The deal means the Milwaukee-based utility would be responsible for = spending=20 roughly $220 million to $250 million to build the two wind farms.

The purchase price was not disclosed.

"It's relatively small, as compared to the total investment that = would be=20 made in the facilities," said Rick Kuester, executive vice president of=20 Wisconsin Energy Corp., the parent company of We Energies.

The company and Navitas had signed a deal in July 2003 calling for = Navitas to=20 build the wind projects and sell the electricity generated by the wind = farms to=20 We Energies. The original deal called for the projects to be online by = the end=20 of last year.

The projects suffered some uncertainty as backers waited for Congress = to=20 renew federal tax credits for wind energy production, a move that came = last=20 year. Higher steel prices and the declining value of the dollar relative = to the=20 euro also have delayed the projects, Navitas officials said this = year.

Exchange rates have had an impact on wind-power projects because wind = turbines are imported from Europe.

Navitas said earlier it would not begin construction of the project = this=20 year, and the company recently offered to sell the wind farms to We=20 Energies.

"It was just moving slower than what we wanted it to move," Kuester = said. "We=20 decided in the best interest of our customers to go ahead and move ahead = and buy=20 it and really control our own destiny with it."

The company was banking on these projects, plus a smaller wind farm = proposed=20 for Dodge County, as part of an expanded commitment to renewable = energy.

Wisconsin Energy now operates two wind turbines in Fond du Lac = County, and=20 buys power from a wind farm near Dodgeville.

The utility wants to get about 5% of its electricity from renewable = sources=20 by 2011, which would translate to 320 megawatts of power, Kuester = said.

We Energies plans to apply for permits for the Fond du Lac wind farm = projects=20 with an eye toward building them and having them generating power in = 2007,=20 Kuester said.

If built as a single project, the farm would become the second = largest=20 utility-owned wind-power project in the nation, said Michael Vickerman,=20 executive director of the renewable energy advocacy group Renew = Wisconsin.

"We Energies' commitment to build and operate a wind farm of this = magnitude=20 is a powerful demonstration that the economics of wind power are too = good to=20 pass up," Vickerman said.

Wisconsin Energy also bought the development rights for a third site = named=20 Lake Breeze Wind Farm, although there are no development plans for the = site,=20 Kuester said. That site is in the Town of Taycheedah, also in Fond du = Lac=20 County.

The Navitas purchase comes at a time when the state is encouraging=20 development of renewable power. A task force appointed by Gov. Jim Doyle = last=20 year recommended that Wisconsin buy 10% of its electricity from = renewable=20 sources within 10 years.

The project was conceived of as two 44-turbine projects, with each = capable of=20 producing 1.8 megawatts of electricity, but newer technology in the = wind-power=20 industry features even larger turbines, generating 2 to 2.5 megawatts = each.

The 5% commitment was part of the company's overall new-power plant=20 construction planning, which also includes the new Port Washington = natural=20 gas-fired power plants under construction in Port Washington and two new = coal-fired power plants that We Energies wants to build in Oak Creek. =
