"The Milford Valley creates a funnel effect that produces a great wind resource," said Krista Kisch, business development director at UPC Wind Management LLC. The first phase of the 16,000-acre project will require 80 towers that will generate 320 megawatts of power, enough to supply about 60,000 homes. Beaver County's planning commission voted unanimously last week to grant a permit to UPC Wind. The first phase could employ up to 100 people. The company also has plans to generate an additional 80 megawatts on land that includes a sliver of Millard County, about 200 miles south of Salt Lake City. -- AP Posted by the Boston Globe City & Region Desk at 06:38 PM
