US Wind Force cancels western Md. wind farm
March 19, 2010 10:20 EDT
CUMBERLAND, Md. (AP) -- A developer is canceling a 25-turbine wind farm in western Maryland because it ran out of time to find a buyer for the electricity.
US Wind Force, of Greensburg, Pa., told the Cumberland Times-News on Thursday it will let pass a Saturday deadline for starting construction atop Savage Mountain near Lonaconing.
Three projects remain alive in western Maryland, although none has been built.
One is a 25-turbine US Wind Force project on Dan's Mountain in Allegany County. The project has been stalled by county zoning restrictions enacted last year.
Constellation Energy says it hopes to start building a 28-turbine project on Backbone Mountain in Garrett County this spring.
A nearby, 20-turbine project planned by Synergics Inc. was approved by state regulators in November.
