BP rep provides wind farm project info

Wind turbines were again an agenda topic for the Van Wert County Board of Commissioners when BP developer Roger Brown met with the commissioners on Thursday.

 Although he admitted that BP’s wind energy division is currently up for sale, Brown said he doesn’t feel that will have any impact on BP’s current Prairie Creek wind farm project proposed for southern Van Wert County. 
Brown also addressed the “shadow flicker” issue, noting that BP is very careful about how it sites wind turbines to meet state requirements that nearby residences experience no more than 30 hours of flicker annually.[Van Wert Independant]
