Ward Quoted in BDN Report on Offshore Wind Power Vote in Bristol
Jake Ward, vice president for innovation and economic development at the University of Maine, was quoted in a Bangor Daily News article about Bristol residents voting whether to allow UMaine’s proposed offshore wind power project to connect to the grid in town, should the project reach construction. The project would consist of two floating wind turbines in a test site about three miles south of Monhegan and 12 miles southeast of Bristol, according to the article. Ward said the project’s design and engineering phase will be completed using a federal grant, and the project will then remain on standby for more funding.
