Kibby wind farm work begins
Work has begun on the $320 million Kibby Wind Power project on Kibby Mountain in northern Franklin County.
Plum Creek, which owns the land, has started clearing for the 17 miles of roads, and developer TransCanada MaineWind Development Inc. has hired Woolwich construction firm Reed & Reed to lay the roads, build the foundations for the 44 turbines and install them, and construct the electrical collector system, according to the Sun Journal in Lewiston.
The first set of 22 turbines are planned to be operational in December 2009, and the second half in 2010. LURC approved the wind farm in July.
