The Northwind 100 wind turbine project is just step number one in our continuing effort to be energy conscious. It is estimated to produce 92% of our annual electrical needs. Country Garden is proud to do our part in going "green".
PRODUCTION: 100 Kilowatts
Emissions Offset (per year)
114 Tons of Carbon Dioxide
986 Pounds of Sulfur Dioxide
354 Pounds of Nitrous Oxide
The pole height is 121.36 feet tall. The rotors will extend another 34.44 feet. The F.A.A. has given us approval for our wind turbine to be 156 feet tall.
The turbine was purchased right here in New England and is manufactured by Northern Power located in Barre, Vermont. The award winning turbine is a passively-cooled, permanent magnet, direct drive generator eliminating a gearbox and transmission. This creates one of the quietest turbines available with noise levels measured at 50 dB, which echo the sounds of normal conversation or soft music.
The best ways to prevent an outbreak of any fish disease are to maintain optimum water quality and to quarantine new fish arrivals before introducing new fish and possible disease along with them.
