Massachusetts Military Reservation Wind Project
The Massachusetts Military Reservation Wind Project is located in Barnstable County, Massachusetts on the Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR), also known as the Joint Base Cape Cod. This Wind Project currently consists of one wind turbine, built in 2009, and two others recently completed in 2011. The first turbine was a Fuhrländer 1500/77 wind turbine “with an 80 meter tower and a 77 meter rotor diameter.” 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Renewable Energy Projects MMR (Air Force Wind Turbine) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Achieving Net Zero Energy on Cape Cod )〕 The two completed in 2011 were General Electric wind turbines. Each of these GE 1.5-77 wind turbines outputs 1.5 MW of power on top of an 80 meter tall tower.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Massachusetts Military Reservation Wind Turbines Project by STV )〕 Therefore, the total net capacity for the MMR Wind project is approximately 4.5 MW. Clearance may soon become available to build more turbines. (See the “New Turbines” section below for more information). The contracting company hired to build all three of the turbines is called ECC Corporate, and the plant code and utility ID of the facility are 57253 and 56619, respectively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Electricity Data Browser: MA Military Reservation Wind Project )〕
==History==
In 2007, the MMR created the Massachusetts Military Reservation Energy Committee to find ways of reducing the base’s carbon footprint and operational costs by using renewable energy technologies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy Booklet, Massachusetts Military Reservation )〕 This was largely because, in the past, the Joint Base Cape Cod has used a very large amount of “petroleum products and other hazardous materials and () of them in nearby landfills, dry wells, sumps, and a sewage treatment plant.” 〔 Recently, in 2008, treatment systems created to remedy the polluted area were reported by this committee to not only have in turn created a tremendous spike in electricity costs, but to also having caused an increase in greenhouse gas emissions due to the extra amount of fossil fuels needing to be burned for these remedial treatment plants.
Therefore, the Massachusetts Military Reservation Wind Project was proposed for the government owned Joint Base Cape Cod. Once the first wind turbine was built in 2009 and the beneficial impacts on the area were proven, the contracting company that built the first turbine, ECC Corporate, was given the funds in 2010 to build two other turbines, finished in 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=North American Wind Power: Wind Project Completed at Massachusetts Military Reservation )〕 The total cost of the project was about $16.2 million. The project is still not over, however, as there is a possibility for more wind turbines to be built in the future. This possibility is expanded upon in the “New Turbines” section.
