PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - Deepwater Wind's initial project will raise state and local governments' electric bills by a combined $1.5 million in its first year, according to documents reviewed by the Target 12 Investigators.
Municipal electric bills will increase by a total of $1 million while state government's bill will rise by $476,630, according to an estimate commissioned by National Grid from Energy Security Analysis Inc. The cost would rise by 3.5 percent every year for the next two decades.
The estimate was included in a document National Grid asked the R.I. Public Utilities Commission to seal from the public view as the panel weighed whether to approve a controversial 20-year contract between Deepwater and Grid. The PUC denied that request, opening the town-by-town breakdown up for public inspection.

Unlike the proposed offshore project at Wolfe Island, the offshore project near Main Duck Island is waiting to enroll in Ontario’s feed-in tariff program.
The program guarantees 18.5 cents per kilowatt for offshore wind power. The Wolfe Island project was in the first wave of announced projects that are guaranteed the tariff. That announcement came in April and gave Windstream Energy Inc. 20 years of firm income for the Wolfe Island Shoals Project. more...

CAPE VINCENT — Sharp questions and protesters greeted a Canadian wind development company that crossed the border to describe its project.
Trillium Power Wind Corp., Toronto, is proposing Trillium Power Wind 1, a 414-megawatt project. The project would cover about 16,000 acres in the shoals south and west of Main Duck Island, 16.8 miles from Cape Vincent in Lake Ontario.
Trillium officials came to Cape Vincent Elementary School on Thursday night. The corporation must follow the environmental review process in Canada, but is not required to hold public meetings in the U.S.
