The Makah Nation, located on the northwestern tip of the Olympic Peninsula, has determined that the most expedient way to ensure the success of developing a commercial wind project on native lands, while simultaneously maintaining an economically and politically advantageous position for the tribe, is by setting up the Makah Utility Authority as a vehicle for finance, business, and development. In this project, the Makah will complete the predevelopment tasks for the planned Makah 30-MW wind project and associated infrastructure.
