19 December 2006 -- U.S. energy provider Dominion announced Monday that it will acquire a 50 percent interest in a wind turbine facility being developed by a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc in Grant County, West Virginia.

Under terms of the agreement, Dominion will enter a joint venture agreement with Shell WindEnergy Inc. to develop the first phase of a wind facility near Dominion's Mt. Storm Power Station that will produce 164 MW of electricity.

All regulatory and environmental permits required to begin construction are in place. Also completed is the transmission interconnection application and approval process with the PJM wholesale power market.

The project will consist of 82 wind turbines producing 2 MW each. The turbines will be constructed on the Allegheny Front, which has an average elevation of 3,100 feet at the project site. The region around Dominion's Mt. Storm Power Station has been identified as one of the best wind turbine locations on the East Coast of the United States.
