Suffolk University Beacon Hill Institute Cape Wind study revealed that public subsidies equal 77% of the cost of project construction.
Cape Wind is widely expected to cost $2 bn. to construct.

“Since 1981, Mr. Hewson has been a principal at Energy Ventures Analysis, one of the nation’s leading energy consulting firms located in Arlington Virginia. Mr. Hewson has been heavily involved in evaluations of emerging US environmental regulations and legislation and their effects on generation technology choice and fossil fuel markets. Mr. Hewson has conducted numerous studies on proposed climate change and multi-pollutant control initiatives by states, EPA and Congress in which he has projected compliance actions, their implementation costs, fuel market impacts and estimated environmental benefits. He has provided expert testimony on carbon risk in new power plant permitting proceedings.”
Mr. Hewson graduated from Princeton University in 1976 with a Civil Engineering Degree.
Mr. Pressman is an analyst at Energy Ventures Analysis. He holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Rochester (2007).
