CHEYENNE  - The state  Office of State Lands and Investments plans to solicit wind energy lease proposals at 16 locations covering about 160,000 acres of state trust lands. The RFP, which was authorized by the Wyoming Board of Land Commissioners, will include state trust lands in Platte, Goshen, Niobrara, Laramie, Converse and Carbon counties.

According to a one commercial property manager, the state office identified the locations because of their substantial wind resources and minimal conflicts with environmental concerns or other land uses.

The Office of State Lands and Investments is is responsible for the management of approximately 3.6 million acres of state trust land for beneficiaries, including Wyoming public schools.
