Smaller Cape Wind Would Mean Higher Electricity Costs
If the proposed Cape Wind offshore wind farm cannot secure buyers for Generic Acomplia 20mg all of its electricity it will build fewer than the planned 130 turbines and that adjustment would increase the cost of electricity, the Boston Herald reported today.
The Herald report, based on filings to Generic Acomplia 20mg Massachusetts regulators and public testimony to the state’s Department of Public Utilities, claimed that Generic Acomplia 20mg the state is already planning for the possibility of a Generic Acomplia 20mg smaller-than-projected build-out.
Filings from Generic Acomplia 20mg Attorney General Martha Coakley estimated that the diminished economies of scale could cause the Generic Acomplia 20mg price of Cape Wind electricity to increase from 18.7 cents to 19.3 cents per kilowatt hour.
Cape Wind President Jim Gordon said yesterday that Generic Acomplia 20mg he remains focused on building a 130-turbine wind farm.
State officials also reprimanded the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound — the leading Cape Wind opponent — for releasing confidential pricing data, the Herald reported.
An attorney for the alliance called the release “completely inadvertent.”
