Wind Turbines to Be Installed Near Stadium by End of Year

Good initiative. Let’s get this done. I endorse this.

Will residents near the turbines be affected by noise or visibility issues? How will this impact my electricity bill? Will the savings trickle down? A few questions to the ones in charge

Big respect to the Department of the Environment and WIOC. Clean energy is the way forward.

Not this project again. Bad management. How did the government allow this ambassador to continue mismanaging money and still allow her to function. She know herself. How is she still in the environmnetal department frastrating people.

Finally! Wind power coming to Antigua. Better late than never.

Me like dis. Renewable energy ah the future.

Wind turbines by year-end? Let’s hold them to it!

I think this could help cut down on fossil fuel imports too.

The solar farms are already dead. Good luck with wind.

But there is not 2 wind turbines by the stadium already? they didnt finish this project and started to look for another one? Lmao..Yeah right. Environmental friendly. Lmao…They spend huge amount of energy t be produced than the energy and cost to build them and keep it running for a period of time. Remember. Those turbines also need oil, grease, paint, maintenance and who will keep them running in the long run? Antigua ehh?? Lmao. I wanna see this show in 10 years from now.

A lot of people believe this wind power will do something for Antigua, but no! This will just be optics for green energy funding for politicians. And this will help the private electricity power station function smoothly in maintaining frequency if there is a battery pack that comes with the wind turbine, because you have to take into consideration the rated power will only operate at 10-25% of the mention amount depending on wind speed, why someone will stupidly put these wind turbine by the stadium in a no wind zone? Must be done by politicians hoping to have the camera optics when there is cricket games to get more funding to pocket, this green energy is the new scam, because the develop countries pushing it is going into more nuclear energy that gives them cheaper manufacturing power for industries, I say the USA and others paternalistic behavior is a control mechanism to keep us underdeveloped and so we don’t get nuclear power plant that may give us the potential of been future nuclear arm s capabilities.

Now back to the wind generators, if APUA had a real electricity manager, that would not obtain, where all this foolishness is going on with these wind generator placements, because that hill at new winthorpes and boggy peak and Shirley heights are better wind location, which will leave us in any case the ability to act as power stabilizer during transients that cause nuisance loss of power during lightening strike or trees touching line, but there must be batteries. As I say it will benefit the hadeed power plant to keep it more stable online and during transients, but because APUA doesn’t do hotline work they will become useless daily, because they don’t have dedicated cable connection to let day a substation to power directly so they will be running on grid tie inverters on the same customers feeder branch which is affected by the APUA pole maintenance, if
APUA was doing hotline work it would a benifit the country more. But I blame the electricity manager for just been a job entitlement marionette, nothing to offer, he must be the laughing stock internationally by real engineers out in the develop countries who happen to hear of this project, they already looked at wind statistics for Antigua and realized that is during hurricane we will have that much wind because we are not mountainous or anything, and the coastline is one alternative not been exploited fully or the hills.
But I see this as a political project and not an engineering project to benifit Antigua.
