A plan to put 33 wind turbines on forested ridgelines in Coos
County has won unanimous approval from the state Site Evaluation
Committee. Granite Reliable Power's plan calls for turbines on
peaks in Millsfield and Dixville and a substation in Dummer. The wind
farm would connect to a transmission line known as the Coos County loop
and produce 99 megawatts of electricity, making it the largest in the
state. The $257 million project still needs approval from the federal
Army Corps of Engineers, the Federal Aviation Administration and ISO New
England.
