Lack of Customers Suspends Wind Project



 HYDE COUNTY, S.D. (AP) - A wind project in Hyde County has been
suspended by its Florida developer.
     NextEra Energy officials say the 150-megawatt project is still
active, but it's put the permitting process on hold.
     Spokesman Steve Stengel says the company needs "greater
clarity," including "identifying a customer."
     NextEra operates three wind farms in South Dakota: a 99-megawatt
project in Day County, a 40-megawatt project in Hyde County and a
51-megawatt project in Jerauld County.
