Wind power in Kentucky
The state has not passed renewable portfolio standard legislation and there are no commercial-scale wind turbines.The funds could have been used to stimulate private investment in Kentucky-based technology companies with high growth potential.[7][8][9] In 2012 Mason County passed an ordinance which would prohibit the construction of large-scale wind farms., except in previously designated industrial zones, but would permit mid to small scale turbines for use at a principal site, but not for sending the energy across electric transmission lines.As of 2013, the agency, in addition to the Buffalo Mountain Windfarm, had purchased agreements from power generated from wind farms outside its service area: A 2010 agreement with Iberdrola Renewables provides a potential 300MW future supply from Streator-Cayuga Ridge Wind Farm, Livingston County, Illinois [12] Clean Line Energy LLC is proposing 700-mile power transmission line to bring wind energy from Oklahoma and to the Tennessee Valley.Developers begun in 2007 to seek regulatory approval for the $2 billion project, but it's expected to take at least 2020 to acquire it before construction can begin.
