To the Nashua Board of Aldermen,
| am writing to you today, to request a meeting with the Nashua Board of Aldermen, or any Nashua Committee you feel is suitable.

I'd like to discuss the possibility of a resolution or warrant article - for studying the feasibility of offshore wind in our state. As a former
Nashua Green Tearn member, I'm excited to support my community in reducing pollution and increasing sustainability. Offshore wind is on
solution which can be viable in our state, to meet all our energy needs. Governor Sununu has said that he would authorize a study of the
feasibility of offshore wind if it had community support. A Nashua resolution or passed warrant article would demonstrate support from the

community of Nashua.

| have attached a presentation with more information.

I'm looking forward to working with my municipal representatives, and J thank you for your time and consideration.
Best Regards,

Anita Arden Cala

Nashua Supports Offshore Win

Offshore wind has been identified by a
legislative study committee as one of the
best options for renewable energy in NH.

Report of the
Committee to Study Offshore Wind Energy and the
Development of Other Ocean Power Technology

HB 1312 (Chapter 180, Laws of 2014)
Membership
Representative Robert Cushing, Chair Senator Martha Fuller Clark

Representative Herbert Vadney . Senator Jeff Woodburn
Representative David Borden Senator Russell Prescott

The coastal wind of NH provides
Capacity to produce ~2600
Megawatts of energy

That could meet 100% of NH
electricity needs!

To bring offshore wind to New Hampshire Governor Sununu must
request a task force from the Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management. The Task Force will...

1. Study the feasibility of offshore wind in New Hampshire
2. Talk to stakeholders
3. Start the leasing process for the area where the wind turbines will go

4. Be staffed partly with NH residents (legislators, PUC, SEC, or other people).
This is the only cost to NH

“If folks want to bring it
up [offshore wind] and
they want to try to

make that case in NH,
I’m not opposing it.”

When we show governor Sununu there is
NH community support for offshore wind,
he will request the task force.

A passed warrant article or a resolution will
demonstrate community support.

3. Cost of generating electricity from wind has declined
Significantly

4. Reduced atmospheric pollution — healthy community
