The wind resource measured at the Mountain Village met tower site is very good with measured wind power class 5 (excellent). In addition to high average wind speeds and high wind power density, the site experiences very low turbulence and low extreme wind speed probability. Its location on a high exposed plateau above the Yukon […]

Deering
The wind resource measured in Deering is good at high wind power Class 3 with low turbulence conditions. Met tower placement was based on observations of wind patterns in Deering, the relatively high elevation of the site, and proximity to existing roads. The site is thought to have the best developable wind regime near Deering. […]
Buckland
Buckland has very expensive fuel, a well-run powerplant ideally suited for integration of wind turbines, and a strong desire to incorporate wind power to reduce their energy costs. In summer 2015, after ten years of study and planning, two 100 kW Northern Power Systems NPS100 wind turbines, plus a five mile distribution intertie to the […]
Point Lay
The wind resource measured in Point Lay is excellent, with measured wind power high class 4 to low class 5 (on a scale of 1 to 7). In addition to high average wind speeds and high wind power density, Point Lay’s winds are highly directional and of low turbulence, all of which are highly desirable […]
Point Hope
The wind resource measured in Point Hope is outstanding, with measured wind power class 6 (on a scale of 1 to 7). In addition to high average wind speeds and high wind power density, very low turbulence was measured and calculations indicate low extreme wind speed probability, all of which are highly desirable for wind […]
Wainwright
The wind resource measured in Wainwright is excellent, with measured wind power high class 4 to low class 5 (on a scale of 1 to 7). In addition to strong average wind speeds and wind power density, the site experiences highly directional prevailing winds, low turbulence and calculations indicate low extreme wind speed probability, all […]
Atqasuk
The wind resource measured to date in Atqasuk appears to be promising for wind power development, but winter data recovery was very poor. Wind power class 3 (fair) is calculated but that with only one year of data characterized by poor winter data recovery, that classification may well be in error. With respect to other […]
Anaktuvuk Pass
The wind resource measured in Anaktuvuk Pass is somewhat low by some standards of wind power development with projected wind power class 2 (marginal). But, the viability of wind power in a remote community is primarily dependent on the cost of fuel for electricity generation. Given the very high cost of diesel fuel in Anaktuvuk […]
Eek
The proposed Eek wind project site is located on the old runway, preferably on the north side to avoid downwind turbulence from the very high GCI communication tower located on the apron of the old airport. A met tower was installed on the north end of the old runway in 2012 and was operational through […]
