After months of negotiations, public outreach, permit applications and design work, Fox Islands Wind, LLC, is now overseeing the first construction phases of an effort to bring wind energy to Vinalhaven and North Haven, off the Maine coast. When work on site is completed later this year, three 1.5 megawatt General Electric wind turbines will be feeding electricity directly to the power distribution system on the two islands. The turbines are expected to stabilize power prices on the islands, a benefit that has won the overwhelming support of the islanders for the project. Any surplus power that is generated by the wind turbines will be sold back to the regional grid via the submarine cable that currently delivers electricity to the islands.
