Fire Island wind project
Sustainable wind energy for Southcentral Alaska
Southcentral Alaska and the Railbelt region have reached a crucial point in the search for viable, reasonably priced new energy sources to help ease the strain on dwindling natural gas supplies.
CIRI, through its wholly owned subsidiary Fire Island Wind LLC, is developing a wind project on Fire Island, near Anchorage, that can help. The project is already under construction, and CIRI is committed to its successful completion. Fire Island Wind generates most of its power during the winter months when our community needs it the most. Grant funding will substantially reduce the cost of wind power to utility customers..
The Regulatory Commission of Alaska approved a power purchase agreement between Fire Island Wind and Chugach Electric Association on Oct. 10, 2011. Fire Island Wind is now proceeding with construction of a first-phase, 11-turbine wind farm on the island.
