Planned wind farm gets 15-year deal
A 250-megawatt Maine wind farm has won a 15-year contract with the state of Connecticut, which aims to have 20% of its power come from renewable sources by 2020.
The Hartford Business Journal reported Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy announced the contract with Number Nine Wind Farm, which is planned for a location in Aroostook County, developed by the Houston-based North American subsidiary of Spain’s EDP Renováveis.
The contract still must be approved by the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority.
Separately, Massachusetts-based First Wind has won preliminary 15-year contracts for its planned wind power project in Oakfield and its Bingham wind farm through a bidding process with the state's Department of Energy Resources, according to the trade publication Electric Light & Power.
The publication reported construction of the Oakfield project is expected to begin later this year with completion set for 2015.
