300 Foot Windmill Towers
From Asbury Park Press:
A Pennsylvania company is building five wind turbine towers, each about 300 feet high, on land near the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa.
Wayne, Pa.-based Community Energy Inc. says the windmills will have a total 7.5 megawatts of capacity, enough electricity to power about 3,000 to 4,000 homes, once they are completed and operational in December.
The wind farm will be the first in New Jersey, according to the state Board of Public Utilities, which provided a $1.7 million clean energy grant for the $12 million construction project.
Brent Beerley, Community Energy's vice president, described the project as a wind energy showcase that will be visible to visitors driving into the East Coast gambling mecca.
