FORT COLLINS, Colo.—Colorado State University is ending its partnership with a company that has been helping build a wind farm to power its campus.
CSU says it still intends to build the $500 million project on its Maxwell Ranch near the Wyoming border. However, the decision to part ways with Wind Holding LLC means much of the planning and preliminary work will have to be redone.
The project was announced in March 2007 and CSU had expected the farm to be operating in 2010.
CSU’s Bill Farland says Wind Holding lost its major financial backer and had trouble paying subcontractors and consultants. He told the Coloradoan other developers remain interested in the project.
The newspaper said Wind Holding officials didn’t respond to repeated requests for comment.
