The status of wind energy in Maine:

Mars Hill – In production, 28 units (turbines), 42 megawatts total, 150 million kilowatt-hours per year.

Stetson Mountain – Under construction, 38 units, 57 megawatts total.

TransCanada on Kibby Mountain and Kibby Range – LURC-approved, 44 units, 132 megawatts total.

When these 231 megawatts are up and running, the wind contribution should be about 700 million kilowatt-hours per year.

New England uses about 130 billion kWh per year. The Maine wind contribution, including those yet to be constructed, will produce about half of 1 percent of New England electricity.

A recent governor’s task force projects the potential for 2,000 to 3,000 megawatts.
