Shawn Calfa Grant Manager Alaska Energy Authority On behalf of the City Council for the City of Ketchikan, I would like to express the City's support for Southeast Alaska Power Agency's (SEAPA) grant application to study the feasibility of wind power in the Ketchikan Area. As you may be aware, there is growing concern regarding the availability of electrical power in Southern Southeast Alaska, Garnering all available natural resources is cost effective and serves to promote economic development for the region on a long term basis. A study into the feasibility of wind power is a first step toward utilizing a clean, available natural resource. The City of Ketchikan strongly supports SEAPA's efforts to conduct wind studies and urges the Alaska Energy Authority to favorably consider a Renewable Energy Fund Grant (Round VII) for this purpose.
