NASA reported that it had selected Boeing and General Electric for contract negotiations to design, construct, install, and test multimegawatt advanced wind-turbine systems, in an LeRC-directed project sponsored by the DOE. The turbines, costing $15-$20 million each, would be used at sites with annual mean wind speed of 23 kilometers (14 miles), to be selected by DOE, and would supply electricity to conventional local utility systems for use by the general public.
