Wind Turbine Commissioning on STX 2/29

The public is invited to the dedication at 5:30pm on Wed 2/29/12 at St. Croix Reformed Church. Kingshill School will provide refreshments.

This is great! Why are there not more wind turbines on the island. Especially now in the setting of the plant closing? Do some build newer homes with solar panels? Are some folks able to be "off the grid" this way?

Here's an article about the wind turbine and its dedication: http://stcroixsource.com/content/news/local-news/2012/02/29/wind-turbine-dedicated-church

Very nice! Hopefully more of the island will catch on!

Yes. Really cool. 🙂

You can see a video of the turbine and click on a gallery of ceremony photos at www.stcroixreformed.org

Just before closing the ceremony, Pastor Koopmans said while pointing down La Reine Hill towards Hovensa,
"Down the hill we can all see Hovensa. They are no longer producing energy. ....We are."
It gave me shivers.

I may have missed the answer, but may I ask for it anyway..........? What contractor/supplier/installer the wind turbine for this project?

Thank you board. :S

It is a Bergey Wind Turbine. The below web page has the details.
