The University of North Carolina and Duke Energy have signed a contract to place up to three demonstration wind turbines in the state’s Pamlico Sound. This will be a pilot program designed to answer questions about the viability of developing a utility-scale wind energy production operation in the area.

The pilot project will build on the nine-month study completed in June 2009 by UNC at the request of the North Carolina Assembly to explore the feasibility of producing wind energy in the Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds.

The study explored and assessed issues such as:

* How much wind power could be produced.

* Ecological ramifications.

* Utility Infrastructure.

* Regulation Barriers.

That seems backwards to me! [agreed, corrected]

None the less – a very encouraging article – it is exciting to see the field growing so fast.
