The almost daily rising cost of diesel fuel has spurred the utility company in Kodiak Alaska to order up more wind turbines to provide electricity to its customers.

Kodiak utility to add 3rd wind generator
Kodiak's electric utility will expand its plans to incorporate wind as a power generator in response to the high cost of diesel.

Kodiak Electric Association board members voted last week to buy a third wind generator during the evaluation phase of their Pillar Mountain wind power project.

"With the price of fuel going where it's going, the added generation is a good thing for our community," said KEA president and chief executive Darron Scott.

It makes sense to purchase a third wind generator now instead of waiting because it's likely to be more expensive later, Scott said.

"We feel the added generation is a cost benefit back to the community due to the cost of diesel," Scott said.
