Large wind farm approved near Williams, Ariz.

Coconino County Supervisors have approved a large wind farm on state and private lands in northern Arizona.


NextEra Energy plans to begin construction this summer if it receives clearance from state agencies to install 62 405-foot-tall wind turbines. The site is 13 miles north of Williams and 50 miles south of the Grand Canyon.


The Arizona Daily Sun reports that county supervisors approved the project late Tuesday.


Nearby residents opposed the project for its possible impacts on their views, peace and quiet and property values.


The project will be the first large renewable energy facility in Coconino County if it is built.


NextEra Energy is based in Juno Beach, Fla., and is the parent of Florida Power & Light Co. It will sell the electricity to Arizona Public Service Co.
