CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The state Supreme Court is being asked to overturn the approval of a wind farm development in Barbour and Randolph counties.
A group called the Laurel Mountain Preservation Association is appealing a March 17 decision by the state Public Service Commission that awarded a siting certificate for the proposed 65-turbine development.
The group argues the PSC should have reopened the case to consider additional information.
AES Laurel Mountain is proposing to spend $250 million to build the wind farm across a three-mile stretch of ridgeline between Belington and Elkins.
The project is expected to generate between 1,500 to 2,500 kilowatts of power, enough to power up to 35,000 homes.
The court is to hear the case Wednesday morning.
