Ernestown Wind Park invites our friends and neighbours to take a look inside the big ‘green feet’ of our turbines on Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Please RSVP at https://www.uniiverse.com/ErnestownWindDoorsOpen
Come celebrate Ernestown Wind Park on Millhaven Road at Chatterson Road in Odessa. The right sized Wind Park in the right location! A small, 10 MW, five turbine project in rural Loyalist Township, Ernestown Wind Park is being commissioned in 2014.
Learn more about the wonderfully engineered turbines; and fun facts, such as how many tons of re-bar it takes to make a turbine foundation and why woodpeckers love this wind park. Take a hayride tour of the wind park, listen to some great old time music, enjoy a hotdog, and kids’ activities – including the fire truck and dump truck display.
Support the Charity Turbine Climb climbers!
Eight stalwart climbers from the region will be climbing the 137 ladder rungs to the the top of the 98 meter turbine tower. The money they raise will benefit Lennox & Addington County students through the Ernestown Wind Park scholarship fund.
Known for its extensive community outreach program Ernestown Wind Park Inc was awarded the 2012 SWITCH Rural Initiatives Award for ‘addressing the unique needs and challenges of rural communities in achieving sustainable energy goals, and demonstrating the effective use and balance of natural resources in the pursuit of sustainable energy goals.’
