NYPA receives five proposals for wind farms

The New York Power Authority says it has received five proposals to develop wind farms offshore in Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.

NYPA issued a request for proposals for what's known as the Great Lakes Offshore Wind project on Dec. 1, and the proposals were due June 1.

NYPA did not reveal the names of the developers or companies that submitted proposals, but it would be the first project of its kind in New York state, which is seeking to increase its production of electricity from wind turbines.

A preferred developer is expected to be selected late this year or next year, and the selected project is expected to be operational by 2016.
