Western Wind completes 60th and final turbine at Windstar

Written by  Dan Comand January 26, 2012

Western Wind Energy Corp. of Vancouver has announced that it has erected the last and final turbine at its Windstar Project, Tehachapi, California, bringing the total installed capacity to the 120 MW design capacity.

Regarding its negotiations for a new acquisition in the southern U.S., the company can report that the area to mention is Puerto Rico.  Puerto Rico remains dependent for 2/3 of its electrical energy production on burning crude oil.  Western Wind expects to become a significant player in Puerto Rico and provide long term clean energy solutions to Puerto Rican residents offering energy independence and price stability.

Jeff Ciachurski, President of Western Wind Energy states, "this is a proud moment for Western Wind stakeholders in achieving the completion of the final turbine at Windstar.

Western Wind is a vertically integrated renewable energy production company that currently owns 165 MW of rated solar and wind capacity in production in the States of California and Arizona. Western Wind further owns substantial additional development assets for both solar and wind energy in California, Arizona, Ontario, Canada; and in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

  • Piston sealing systems reduce friction

    Simrit has developed the Friction Piston Seal T-ring (TR) 200. With the low friction piston seal TR 200, Simrit presents an innovative sealing geometry for the smooth operation of pneumatic cylinders with significantly increased efficiency. Reducing friction by up to 50% compared to conventional systems, the low friction piston seal TR 200 shows minimal wear after 15 million cycles. The dynamic sealing function of the low friction piston seal TR 200 is achieved by a sealing area with a large radius.
