Logan Township Supervisors have agreed to allow Gamesa to change the length of the blades on proposed wind towers at the Chestnut Flats Wind Farm.
Gamesa project developer Jon Baker told the board Thursday night the company has switched to a longer, more efficient blade model and that’s what prompted the change. The township’s planning commission had initially raised concerns that the blade lengths on at least one tower might be visible from the Horseshoe Curve.
Supervisor Ed Frontino says township engineers say while there is little room for error, the blade length still shouldn’t be an issue.
Baker says construction at the wind farm site should begin later this spring.
