LIRA open to wind power in Master Plan despite killing offshore project on cost

摘要

The Long Island Power Authority is open to wind projects, despite recently canceling plans for a 140-MW offshore wind farm, said CEO Kevin Law last week. LIPA first solicited wind in 2003 and selected a proposal by FPL Energy, which would have owned the 140-MW wind farm. But cost estimates soared from $350 million to $697 million by 2007, due to materials and labor prices.
