Big News for ISEP: Suitable Site LocatedNovember 2006The Iowa Stored Energy Park Agency (ISEPA) has released significant news in the plans for the proposed Compressed Air Energy Storage facility: a suitable geologic formation for development of the project – which involves using underground storage of compressed air – has been confirmed. Dubbed the "Alpha site," the location is confidential until acquisition of storage rights are obtained. The Alpha site has adequate size, depth, physical attributes and confining cap rock – all necessary geologic features to allow development of the project. Final testing of the site will begin soon. A major announcement will take place at a meeting to be held at the IAMU Training & Office Complex in Ankeny December 12. More information will be distributed to each IAMU member electric utility in the near future. For more information, see the ISEP website at www.iowastoredenergypark.com --- ISEP will provide a healthy, clean energy source. By storing the energy generated by wind power, the clean air that we breathe can now be a clean energy source for our future. ISEP will help decrease fossil fuel dependency. By storing the energy from wind we reduce the need for other less environmentally friendly energy sources. ISEP will help control household energy costs. By stabilizing power supplies with the use of stored wind energy, household energy costs are also stabilized. |
