The Lowell Mountain range extends over 10 miles in a generally northeast-southwest orientation from the southern part of Irasburg through Lowell in Orleans County and into Eden in Lamoille County. From north to south, the highest elevations along the ridge in southern Lowell range between 2,200 feet to over 2,600 feet.
Who We Are
( 02/05/2009 11:56 AM )
Kingdom Community Wind is being proposed, supported and developed locally maximizing Vermont labor resources, technical expertise and funding sources.
Why Here?
( 02/05/2009 11:56 AM )
Kingdom Community Wind (KCW) is a grid-connected wind energy project proposal on 3 miles of ridgeline on a portion of Lowell Mountain in southwestern Orleans County, Vermont. The project could consist of 16 to 24 wind turbines, each capable of generating between 1.5 to 3.0 megawatts of power.
Permitting

Green Mountain Power 248J Petition documents filed with the Vermont Public Service Board requesting permission to install and operate three temporary wind measurement stations can be found here.
Photographic Simulations

A number of photographic simulations of Kingdom Community Wind have been prepared modeling typical wind turbine spacing.
What's Our Schedule
( 02/05/2009 11:56 AM )
Developing a wind power project is a slow and thoughtful process in Vermont. Experience has shown that conducting environmental, electrical interconnection and other technical assessments and studies can take over a year, with additional time needed for integration with information gained from public participation and input from state and federal agencies. Subsequent review by Vermont regulators, under the Vermont Title 30, Section 248 process for electric generation facilities, can then be expected to take at least 12 additional months. Once approved, construction is estimated to take up to one year. It is possible KCW will be generating electricity in the late 2012 timeframe.
