The Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Wind Energy Project is large-scale wind farm currently under construction near Rawlins, Wyoming. If completed as scheduled in 2026, it will likely become the largest wind farm in the United States and one of the largest in the world.[1][2] Located largely on federal lands, the project is being built in conjunction with the TransWest Express transmission line to supply power to California.[3][4] Originally slated for completion in 2020, the finish date was extended to 2026 in 2019 amid permitting, environmental, and construction delays.[5]
