DOD, Invenergy reach agreement on Pantego Wind Energy Project


SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. -- The Department of Defense and Invenergy Wind Development LLC reached an agreement to mitigate impacts of the Pantego Wind Energy Project on military training while pursuing renewable energy development.

"With this agreement, a careful balance was struck to capitalize on the potential of renewable energy in eastern North Carolina, while allowing the 4th Fighter Wing to continue its F-15E, low-level flying mission," said Col. Jeannie Leavitt, 4th FW commander.
