The
Future Shown below
are photo simulations representing
what a modern wind turbine installation
would look like on the top of Little
Equinox Mountain.
Unlike
the older generation of wind turbines
previously installed on the mountain,
modern
wind turbines offer 95%+ reliability
/ availability (more
than most fossil
fuel plants). Scroll down

on Little Equinox.

The "Recent" Past:
1990 New England's
sixth wind farm consisted of the reinstallation
of wind turbines on Equinox, the turbines
went on line in the beginning of 1990.
The wind farm was a success and proved
that electricity could be generated
in harsh winter climates.

The "Not-So
Recent" Past: 1981 One of the
first wind farm installations in
the US, was
at Equinox. These photos document
the four WTG turbines installed in
1981 & 1982.
These early turbines were apparently
plagued with mechanical issues. Every
technology has to start someplace,
wind turbine technology has come
a long way
in 20+ years.
