Clipper Windpower Inc. will develop 150 megawatts of power at a wind farm near Spirit Lake, Iowa, for sale to a unit of Alliant Energy Corp., Alliant said recently.

California-based Clipper won a bid process to get the job, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2006.

The value of the project was not disclosed.

When the project is completed, Wisconsin-based Alliant will have a wind energy capacity of 500 megawatts, the company said. The Clipper power will be sold to Alliant unit Interstate Power and Light Co.

One megawatt of wind energy can power about 250 to 300 homes with no emissions.
