(1) Phase I was the first phase where Platte River added turbines to the site. Phase I included two, V42-600 turbines constructed in April 1998. Each turbine generates 600 kW of energy. 

(2) Phases II - III of Platte River's additions to its Medicine Bow Wind Project site. These Vestas-American V47-660 wind turbines were constructed in October/November 1999 and 2000. Each one generates 660 kW of energy.  

(3) Meteorological tower that was installed as part of the original site in the early 1980s. The tower is now utilized by Platte River for data gathering at the site.


Wind site tours are scheduled by request during June, July and August only.
