Residents pay some of the highest electricity retail prices in the nation,
. . . up to $0.50 per kWh in the summer months,
. . . provided by approximately one million gallons of diesel each year.
In March 2015, Deepwater Wind secured financing for its planned,
. . . 30-megawatt,
. . . 5-turbine wind farm to be built,
. . . 3 miles off the Block Island coast.
The wind farm will generate an estimated
. . . 125,000 megawatt-hours per year,
. . . more than enough power for island residents,
. . . with the excess being exported to mainland Rhode Island.
