Kaua’i Island Utility Cooperative Renewable Energy Technology Assessments 9.0 Wind Local participation can be a powerful tool for the project. Local officials and citizens may be more willing to accept a facility if they have open access to all information about the facility; have the authority and funding to independently monitor the project development and proposed site; and are allowed input over how it is constructed, operated, and maintained. The noise and visual impact of wind projects and corresponding property value concerns have lead to community opposition of numerous wind farms across the country. Although steps can be taken in project design to minimize visual impacts and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the project, community support is vital during all stages of project development. KIUC might consider sending out staff to address local citizen groups on a regular basis. If these groups are viewed as “partners,” the project will have a better chance of succeeding. 9.8 Next Steps The development of a wind project of any magnitude is a complex balance of permitting, land acquisition, power agreements and engineering. It is important to follow the correct steps to minimize the project development timeframe while avoiding financial risks. The steps described here should be used as a guideline for proceeding with the project development. They are listed in a chronological order that should maintain forward progress for the project: • Preliminary discussions with potential landowners to assess feasibility of identified project locations • Meteorological tower installation and data collection • “Test the Waters” review – public opposition and permitting review • Land lease / purchase agreements • Environmental impact review • Interconnection and transmission study These tasks will make up the basis of the preliminary project development stage. 21 March 2005 9-29 Black & Veatch
