CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Duke Energy says it will build a 20-turbine wind plant near Cheyenne and has lined up power purchase agreements with two regional utilities.

The Charlotte, N.C., company says it plans to start construction of the 42-megawatt Silver Sage Windpower Project this spring and begin operation by the end of the year.

The plant will be located west of Cheyenne, adjacent to Duke Energy's 29-megawatt Happy Jack wind farm.

Black Hills Corp. says its subsidiary, Cheyenne Light, Fuel and Power, will purchase 30 megawatts of Silver Sage energy. The Platte River Power Authority, based in Fort Collins, Colo., has agreed to purchase the remaining 12 megawatts.
