Traverse City Light & Power (TCL&P), a Michigan municipal electric utility serving 9,000 customers in the Traverse City, Michigan area is in the final development stages of the first {open_quotes}green rate{close_quotes} wind power project in the USA. By the fall of 1995 the utility will be producing wind generated electricity to supply the annual needs of approximately 200 customers who have voluntarily agreed to pay a green price premium in order to encourage their community electric utility to implement wind power generation. The 500 kW, $620,000 wind power project was promoted in early 1994 with a requirement target of 200 customers - and by mid-year a total of 263 residential and commercial customers had been signed. TCL&P was then obliged to proceed with the project installation as planned and promoted.
