PacifiCorp supplies wind turbine blades to demonstrate new recycling technology

PacifiCorp is supporting a new technology that holds promise for recycling fiberglass products such as decommissioned wind turbine blades that might otherwise end up in a landfill.

PacifiCorp’s recent investment of more than $3.1 billion into Wyoming wind projects includes upgrading or “repowering” its existing wind fleet with larger blades and newer technology that will increase energy production by about 27 percent.
