Board weighs wind power deal for USD 363 energy
USD 363 contemplates NexGen wind project with a anticipated 15 cent per kilowatt hour rate in year 15 to hedge fluctuating electricity costs. A turbine likely producing about half of USD 363's annual usage would offset costs but risk overproduction requiring sale back at roughly 4 cents per kilowatt hour. The district would pay about $41,000 for engineering studies with a potential budget impact discussed at the next meeting.
