Can we look at alternative energy sources for energy production – solar, wind, etc?
When the power supply contract was negotiated NCEMPA evaluated various alternatives, but only focused on those that were the most cost-effective. Solar and wind are still much higher costs than our contract. Until 2017 (the expiration of the contract with PEC), we are obligated to purchase all our needs from PEC. This contract is very competitive and lower than any other alternatives considered.
