You may have noticed those giant turbines in the port over the last couple of days, they are headed to the Trans Alta wind farm in Kent Hills. The turbines will be transported through the city starting Monday at 6am. Their route takes them along Lower Cove Loop to the intersection of Crown and Union Streets on to Rothesay Avene and the highway. The turbines are 200 feet long and will have a police escort. The deliveries continue until August 20th.
Provincial Energy Minister Jack Keir says the 96 mega-watt farm has been producing energy since December 2008.
Keir says the province also gets about 400 megawatts of electricity from the Mactaquac Hydro Dam.
