The Peter Island Wind Turbine Project gets underway! Two (2) 250 kW wind turbines were authorized and ordered for Peter Island in the British Virgin Islands. The installation will be the FIRST commercial alternative energy project to support an island grid in the BVI territory. The unit selected is a WES30 Mk1 Hybrid from Wind Energy Solutions in the Netherlands.

Peter Island already operates off the government grid with its own diesel power plant and desalination facility. It is anticipated the two (2) turbines will provide in excess of 60% of the peak load energy requirements.
