Palouse Wind Groundbreaking

Palouse Wind, on Naff Ridge between the town of Oakesdale and Route 195, will be the next advancement in collecting a new regional crop: the wind. Wind power from the project will interconnect to the Avista 230kV Benewah-to-Shawnee transmission line. Palouse Wind will harness enough wind to generate up to ~100 MW of capacity for Whitman County and much of the Northwest — enough to provide clean energy to as many as 25,000 homes.
