The met tower wind test site on the south edge of Levelock measured a moderate Class 3 (on a scale of 1 to 7) wind resource. This offers potential for wind power development, but perhaps best in a battery storage configuration with a grid-forming converter. Note that although the alternate site considered for the met tower – the more distant Levelock Hill on the New Stuyahok winter trail – may have a stronger wind resource, from the perspective of development costs, a near-village site is likely the best option for wind power in the community.
