Fire Island Wind Project Approved; A Wind Powering America Success Story
U.S. Department of Energy: Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Wind Program - With a current statewide wind energy capacity of approximately 10 megawatts (MW), Alaska will soon more than double its wind energy production thanks to a power purchase agreement signed in October. Chugach Electric Association (CEA), Alaska's largest electric utility, agreed to terms with Cook Inlet Region Inc. (CIRI) to purchase the energy produced by the 17.6-MW Fire Island Wind Project, allowing the project to move closer to completion.
