ABSTRACT
Located at the Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA) Wastewater Treatment Plant in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the Jersey-Atlantic Wind Farm (JAWS) is the first coastal wind farm in the Northeast. JAWS, an 8 megawatt system, became operational in December 2005, and has performed better than anticipated. The ACUA purchases almost 70% of the total energy produced by JAWS under a long-term purchase agreement. The price discount the ACUA benefits from saved our ratepayers over $400,000 in 2006.
