The Ministry of Transportation is going green, testing out a residential wind turbine at its Highway 402 truck inspection station east of Sarnia. The company that makes the device is pleased the ministry is considering installing the devices at other stations, province-wide. Ancaster based Cleanfield Alternative Energy installed the vertical axis wind turbine last July. Visible from the 402, CEO Tony Verrelli says the “egg beater” style turbine on a 42 foot tower, has generated a lot of interest. Verelli says everything but the generator on the $20,000 device is Ontario made. The turbine is expected to feed about 5,000 kilowatts of energy onto the grid each year.
