Banner Wind, LLC
Banner Wind, LLC is a renewable energy venture that is the result of an equal partnership between Sitnasuak Native Corporation (SNC) and Bering Straits Native Corporation (BSNC).  The project is comprised of 18 wind towers located five miles northwest of Nome.  Banner Wind will deliver 900 kilowatts of power to the Nome Joint Utility electrical grid over a 20-year extendable project and is expected to provide approximately 10% of the city's annual electricity needs.

The energy produced by the Banner Wind Farm will be sold at a fixed or floating price, and revenues will be divided equally between SNC and BSNC.  The project will help reduce Nome's dependence on expensive fossil fuels used for heating.  The partners in the Banner Wind Farm believe this project can spur other renewable energy projects in the area, thereby increasing the options for heating and energy for Nome residents.
