April 25th, 2009 Offshore Wind Power Project Proposed for Great Lakes
In special recognition of Earth Day, New York Power Authority (NYPA) President and Chief Executive Officer Richard Kessel announced a public-private initiative for the development of wind power projects in the New York State waters of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
The Great Lake Offshore Wind Project could be a key development to Governor David A. Paterson’s ’45 by 15’ goal which entails New York to meet 45 percent of its electrical needs through efficient and renewable energy sources by 2015.
