SilverWind Power Corporation
editDuring early part of 2019, SilverWind Power Corporation [1] intends to be funded for certain wind studies conducted on private leased lands north of Joseph City, AZ. This will be done to ascertain if the site is suitable for a total nameplate capacity 200 MW wind farm north of Joseph City, AZ.
CEO David Jason Silver, 30-years in the realestate business has orchestrated this project since 2009. Garrad Hassan a big player in the wind farm business merged with mega conglomerate DNV GL headquartered out of Høvik, Norway. DNV.GL is the largest in the World, when it comes to wind energy assessments. Its former company Garrad Hassan has provided data estimates indicating their interests in conducting certain studies in Arizona. Silver is very confident with DNV GL resources and its 300 offices in over 100 countries Worldwide that SilverWind Phase 1 will be built in 2020-2022. Estimates of $200-$300 million for completion of Phase 1 are anticipated. Enercon E-126 will be number #1 wind turbine selection for erecting Phase 1. Cost per turbine is estimated to be in the ball park of $14 million before installation of the Enercon E-126. Higher transportation costs and new tariffs could increase that figure slightly through the Donald Trump Administration but will not be a factor that will hamper the development.
Silver "I am prepared to talk with President Trump if the purchase power agreements get rejected through any criminal acts".
Arizona Public Service will be the potential provider purchasing the power from SilverWind. Currently, APS has numerous lines in the immediate area. Winslow sub-station 69 KV, near Holbrook, AZ there is a 345 KV and 230 KV all of which could connect to SilverWind. Moreover, certain laws and regulations in Arizona have been established that regulates power companies. Power companies will need certain amount of renewables in their portfolio, to be in compliance with state law through 2020.[citation needed]
SilverWind will look at all avenues, including erecting its own power lines if negotiatons fail, with any power company that is currently in the area. CEO Silver {"I am willing do be fair with all, providing the project will be profitable, If power lines are needed additional $50-$100 million will be budgeted and slated in SilverWind Phase 1"} 2600:8800:8C83:E700:840F:5DBD:B826:5948 (talk) 04:19, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
