| Research farm to get green electricity Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada will install a wind turbine on its Harrington research farm property to generate 'green' electricity for three of its buildings. Construction on the project is expected to begin in the fall 2006. The 30-metre-high tower with three turbine blades will generate between 50 and 60 kilowatts of electricity, up to half of the farm's electricity requirements. The electricity will be fed into the Maritime Electric power grid. Wind power is recognized as one of the most cost-effective technologies for renewable electricity production. Electricity from wind power is pollution-free and greenhouse-friendly. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
