The turbine in Maine is operating at a capacity factor of 7%. At that rate it would take 50 years to pay off something that has a service life of 20 years. That does not include the cost of the maintenance contract or the insurance premium. Conservatively this turbine will cost the taxpayers and rate payers $25,000 per year and most likely a lot more. I will send this to you again with the details. The turbine in Maine is also a class 2 wind area like Evansville. The power projections given in the video needs to be cut in half to be realistic. That’s why I asked if anyone was offering any production guarantees.
We are checking on the noise from this turbine. Where they have it sited now it’s less that 1200’ from the elderly housing on the corner.
