A Fairbanks man and his Lower 48 business partner are advancing plans to build what could become Alaska’s biggest wind farms, one each outside Anchorage and Fairbanks.

The activity comes amid an infusion of federal funds into clean energy. Rose said the wind projects could benefit substantially from tax incentives included in the Inflation Reduction Act passed in August.about future supplies of Cook Inlet natural gas, the primary source of power for most Alaskans, is also driving interest in renewables.

Purchases from the project will depend on completion of studies involving economics, interconnection and integration, and approval from the Regulatory Commission of Alaska, Hasquet said. “We need to reduce our carbon footprint because our commercial customers want to reduce their carbon” dependence, Bailey said.
