BUS TRIP TO VISIT HULL'S 1.8 MEGAWATT WIND TURBINE

 

 

As part of the Cape & Islands Renewable Energy Collaborative's efforts
to increase the public's awareness of renewable energy, we are
organizing a free bus tour on Tuesday, August 28th to provide residents
and officials with a first-hand view of Hull's newest 1.8 megawatt wind
turbine. Officials and residents from local communities where wind
projects are being contemplated are encouraged to come along for the
ride and to see, hear, and learn about Hull's highly successful wind
installation <http://www.hullwind.org/> . This trip is for citizens and
decision makers who are interested in seeing a utility scale wind
turbine up close and meet and speak with John MacLeod from the Hull
Municipal Light District.  

 

The bus will be leaving Tuesday, August 28th from the Cape Cod Mall
parking lot on the Route 28 side of the Mall in Hyannis (by the light).
The bus will leave at 8:30 a.m. The bus will also be stopping off at the
Sagamore Park and Ride at 9:00 a.m. We will visit the turbine and speak
to the turbine manager who will answer questions and give details on the
hows and whys of Hull's Vestas V66, 1.8 MW wind turbine.  We will be
returning to Sagamore at 1:30 and Hyannis at 2:00.  We suggest that you
bring a bag lunch.

 

Bus service is provided by Pina Bus Lines. The trip is made possible by
funding from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative. This program is
part of the ongoing efforts of Cape and Islands Self-Reliance and
Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve to provide educational
outreach on Land-Based Utility Scale Wind.
