The wind resource in Kokhanok is superb by any measure – the winds are steady, smooth, low shear, highly directional and high power class. The selected wind site, near the tip of the spit of land jutting into Lake Iliamna (see photo above) is ideal for wind turbine installations as it is relatively far from the village but near an existing overhead power line, is comprised of stable rocky soil, and is in a location unlikely to be desired for other village uses (because of the wind).
