The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians ("the tribe") will commission a study to determine the feasibility of a wind power plant as an alternative energy source in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The study will analyze the economic and technical feasibility of a small wind power installation and a large-scale wind power plant. The study will include a wind resource assessment, transmission system analysis, engineering and conceptual designs and estimates, environmental impact, economic viability, market and regulatory analyses, and assessments. The feasibility study is intended to result in a comprehensive business plan sufficient to obtain financing for the construction, development, and operation of a wind energy plant.
