BANGOR (AP) – The Maine Department of Environmental Protection has granted a permit for First Wind to install 40 wind turbines on Rollins Mountain.

The $130 million project in the towns of Burlington, Lee, Lincoln and Winn still needs approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Company spokesman John Lamontagne says First Wind hopes to get final approvals and financing in place to begin construction later this year.

Massachusetts-based First Wind completed Maine’s first two commercial wind power projects atop Mars Hill and Stetson mountain.

Those projects together create 100 megawatts of electricity.
