Wind Power

The first wind turbine on St Barth is high in the hills of Lurin. It is hoped that these silent and pollution-free devices will replace noisy generators. This wind turbine can capture the wind from all directions without having to turn on its axis, which is often a source of breakdowns requiring repairs. It starts producing energy with only 5-6 km/hour of wind. For more information, visit www.energies-sb.com.

This is long overdue. Nevis started using geothermal energy. Sometimes it takes a crisis to get things going.
