State government to buy much more wind power
CONCORD — Gov. John Lynch announced today an agreement for the state government to get a quarter of its energy from wind power. The competitively bid deal with ConEdison Energy Solutions runs through July 1, 2010.
ConEd buys the wind from nationwide sources and gets renewable credits to balance out pollution from other power plants throughout its grid.
The agreement marks a big downpayment on the state goal of getting 25 percent of New Hampshire’s power from renewables by 2025.
