We cannot include a wind turbine to be firm capacity.

We need to do that, to get the turbine up into the best, clean, strongest wind possible to make it effective. The tower also cannot be too high. The FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] has certain limitations because of its proximity to the Martha's Vineyard Airport. We've got it all figured out to stay below that.

Right now we get 93 percent of our energy from burning fossil fuels. If all of these projects come on-line that number will be down to around 55 percent.

We actually had purchase power agreements signed by a wind developer and a municipal solid waste developer, but the developers had trouble finding a site and it was right about the time we were switching over to a co-op and the funding fell through.

We will be purchasing the energy, not the capacity.

Our next step is to create purchase power agreements.
