Why is wind power good for Alaska?
- Help alleviate Southcentral Alaska energy crisis
- Stable-priced power over the long-term (25-30 years)
- FIW is the most immediately feasible and least expensive large-scale renewable energy project in Alaska
- Reduce Southcentral Alaska's overdependence on natural gas for its electric power generation
- Utilizes federal grant funds to reduce cost of power to rate payers
- Expands and improves Railbelt electricity grid by adding more than 24 miles of transmission
- Alaskan-owned
These are just a few of the reasons why building a wind farm on Fire Island is good for Alaska. Our fellow Alaskans certainly think so - more than 80 percent of Anchorage voters support it.
