Harkers Island wind turbine generates 1416 kWh for the period (3/11/2008 thru 7/17/2008)

In an effort to help our members make an informed decision about residential wind power, we have gotten permission to share data we are collecting from a Skystream 3.7 residential wind turbine installed last year at a waterfront home on Harkers Island . The turbine is at a height just under 50 feet and basically free of wind obstructions from the south across the water. The wind quality from all other directions, however, is lessened because of trees and buildings in the wind’s path.

The turbine has its own load-recording meter installed by the cooperative to collect data on how often and how much electricity it is generating. To access the meter data, click HERE

If you are interested in performing a cost analysis on a wind generator, you can access a cost comparison form, created by Association of Illinois Electric Cooperatives, by clicking HERE or in Excel format clinking HERE.

If your request is serious in nature and/or requires immediate attention, please call our office to speak with a customer service representative as soon as possible. Use this form to report any non-immediate request (i.e., a security light out; a broken meter cover).
