Project Description

Jackalope Wind, L.L.C., a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, L.L.C. (NextEra) has submitted a plan of development to accompany a Type III right-of-way (ROW) grant application to the BLM Rock Springs Field Office. As currently proposed, the Project would comprise approximately 213 wind turbine generators and associated infrastructure to deliver approximately 600 MW of electricity to the electrical transmission grid. The Project would be constructed in two phases, with each phase totaling approximately 300 MW. The point of interconnection would be the Jim Bridger Substation, which is located adjacent to the Jim Bridger Power Plant near Point of Rocks, WY.

The Project Area encompasses approximately 293,100 acres of land, approximately 166,100 acres of which are administered by the BLM. The majority of the Project is located within the BLM Rock Springs Field Office, but there is a portion of the requested ROW grant within the Rawlins Field Office. As such, the Rock Springs Field Office will serve as the lead office and will coordinate with the Rawlins Field Office as appropriate during the NEPA process.
