Cape Wind Advances

摘要

Nstar and Northeast Utilities have agreed to purchase 129 MW from the Cape Wind offshore wind farm as a condition of the utilities' pending merger, according to a deal announced on Feb. 15 by Massachusetts officials.The deal means the 486-MW offshore wind farm, more than a decade in the making, is closer to reality with more than 77% of its power under contract. "Today's announcement represents a major step forward in making Massachusetts a leader in offshore wind power," says Jim Gordon, president of Cape Wind.
