(CENTRALIA, WA) -- Progress is continuing on the Skookumchuck Wind Energy Project in Lewis and Thurston counties. Sean Bell with RES America, the company building the project, was at this week’s Lewis County Commissioner’s meeting to thank county staff and the commissioners for their support of the project. In updating the commissioners on the project, Bell said the blades for the wind turbines will start being delivered to the site later this month. Each of the turbine blades is 233 feet long. The 38-turbine Skookumchuck Wind Energy Project, which will produce 137 megawatts of electricity, is located near the TransAlta coal plant in Centralia.
