Around Idaho
Magic Valley Energy has proposed its second wind energy project in Southern Idaho.
The $500 million Salmon Falls Wind Project would create more than 800 megawatts of electricity on Bureau of Land Management property in Twin Falls County. Energy from the planned 280 wind turbine could produce enough energy to power 131,200 homes.
Construction is expected to begin as soon as 2024. Arrangements for the sale of the electricity have not been arranged, a company spokesperson said by email. Some of the power could stay in Idaho and go to private companies or a utility, while portions could be sold to neighboring states to meet increasing clean-energy goals, spokesperson Amy Schutte said.
The company, a subsidiary of New York energy company LS Power, is also developing a 1,000-megawatt wind power project called Lava Ridge on federal land south of Shoshone, in Jerome, Minidoka and Lincoln counties.
