The largest wind farm in Utah and one of the largest in the western United States was commissioned with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the project site near the small town of Milford.

First Wind, an independent North American wind power company based in Boston, celebrated the completion of the first phase of its Milford Wind Corridor project in the presence of Utah Lt. Governor Greg Bell, officials with the federal Bureau of Land Management, state and local officials.  The power generated by the wind farm will be sent south to serve Southern California, so representatives of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the cities of Burbank and Pasadena, and the Southern California Public Power Authority attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony. "This project has generated nearly $86 million in direct and indirect spending in Utah and will continue to benefit the region," said Bell. "Utah has tremendous potential for generating renewable power. This development primes Utah's economic engine, while also protecting our environment."
