Some nice pics of wind power in Hull

They've got em on top of the landfill and on the beach. The units generate about 10% of the town's energy needs of 53000 MW/h per year. They plan long term to become completely self-sufficient using these units. It's probably not as viable for Auburn to expect the full amount but certainly something to consider for places like the old landfill or even Packachoag hill.

Interesting point about finances, the unit paid for itself already. With electricity costs on the rise (Auburn HS) they will only be saving more money every year.

Planning the construction of this turbine took about five years. It cost $770,000 and earned back the initial investment, paid by the municipal power company, in about three and a half years. Now that the upfront costs have been recovered, the turbine saves the town $1 million every three and a half years in power it would have to buy from the grid.
