The assembling of the 400-foot-tall wind turbine on Scituate’s Driftway was the culminating moment for a project that required years of study and approvals.
Take a look at the impressive and arduous process of installing a wind turbine in this photo gallery from Your Town Scituate.
The turbine will be owned and operated by Scituate Wind LLC, a company created with Solaya Energy LLC and principals of Palmer Capital Corp. in 2009. Their funding, along with a $3 million bond from MassDevelopment, enabled the project to be built on land that the town is leasing to Scituate Wind for a 15-year term. The town has the option of renewing the lease with the company for two consecutive five-year terms.
