Policy Overview
Wyoming's energy policy balances support for its traditional coal and natural gas industries with recognition of wind energy's economic potential. The state has imposed some of the nation's only taxes on wind generation.
Despite policy complexities, Wyoming's exceptional wind resources continue to attract development, particularly for projects designed to export power to California and other Western states via new transmission lines.
Grid Operations
Wyoming is part of the Western Interconnection. Major transmission projects are planned to deliver Wyoming wind to load centers in the Southwest and Pacific regions.
Active Projects
Chokecherry-Sierra Madre
One of the largest wind projects in development in North America, planned to deliver 3,000+ MW to Western markets via the TransWest Express transmission line.
Transmission Development
Multiple HVDC and AC transmission projects are in development to unlock Wyoming's wind potential for Western population centers.
