Bonneville Power Administration, Hopkins Ridge Wind Interconnection Project

This notice announces the availability of the ROD to interconnect the proposed Hopkins Ridge Wind Energy Project into the Federal Columbia River Transmission System, as requested by RES America Developments. Transmission services would be provided for 150 megawatts of the output of the proposed wind project. This decision is consistent with and tiered to BPA's Business Plan Final Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/EIS-0183, June 1995), and the Business Plan Record of Decision (August 1995). The proposed interconnection project involves constructing a switching substation adjacent to an existing BPA transmission line near the wind project. The switching substation would be located on a 5-acre parcel of land currently used for wheat farming, immediately east of the intersection of Hartsock Grade Road and Lewis Gulch Road, Columbia County, Washington. BPA would construct the substation from March 1, 2005 through the fall of 2005.
