Wyoming Cancels Wind Farm Leases for Pronghorn H2 and Sidewinder Projects
HYDROGEN
Wyoming state officials have moved to cancel leases for the Pronghorn H2 and Sidewinder wind farm projects, following a 3-2 vote by the state land commission. This decision was influenced by public opposition and a December court ruling that deemed a lease for the Pronghorn project invalid for not complying with state regulations.
Focus Clean Energy has since reduced the project's size from over 57,000 acres to approximately 16,571 acres and removed the hydrogen production aspect. The developer plans to appeal the court's ruling, expressing confidence in a favorable outcome.
