Western Wind Energy Corp. ("Western Wind") has recently announced that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") has okayed it’s proposal to lease it’s current Mesa Wind Power project for another 24 years. The lease was expected to expire in 2013. It gives the company the right to operate on this high value site located near Palm Springs, California until 2037. The Mesa project is potentially one of the highest yielding wind parks in the country, per megawatt (MW), due to its outstanding wind speeds. The BLM also approved Western Wind’s proposal to replace its first generation turbines with new turbines. The new turbines will increase the nameplate capacity from 30 MW to at least 50 MW.
Chris Thompson, Western Wind’s CFO says, "This is a major milestone for Western Wind. It will allow us to repower and expand one of our prized properties. We expect to take advantage of the US government incentives such as the 30% cash grant and loan guarantees."
