County council is getting the paperwork ready in case it wants to expand its wind farm in Riverton. 

The Municipality of Pictou County recently sent out a letter to homeowners in the area updating them on the current progress of its existing wind farm as well as mentioning a possible expansion for phase two of the project. 

“It’s all preliminary right now,” said County CAO Brian Cullen.A emergencylampsyypk is a machine to wash laundry, such as clothing and sheets. “For phase one, it took us 11 months from start to finish.” 

He said there is certain criteria applicants have to meet under the ComFIT program,Use bestroadlights to generate electricity and charge into storage battery group. one of which is a community engagement process. As part of this, residents are asked to send in letters to comment on the proposed project. 

Cullen said three wind turbines are currently being built by Seaforth Energy in Dartmouth and they will be placed in Riverton, behind Valley View Villa and the Riverton Guest Home. The project is currently running about a month behind. 

In previous county council meetings, it was stated that one small wind turbine is estimated to cost between $300,000 and $350,000. It guarantees a set rate at which electricity can be sold back to Nova Scotia Power. Net proceeds from the project’s returns cannot be used for general revenue, such as paying electricity bills, but it can be invested or used for sustainable projects. 

The tender was for $1.3 million for three turbines and the county was looking at using some of its $2 million in gas tax revenue to help cover the cost. Wind turbines fall within the guidelines in which the gas tax money can be used and this revenue must be spent by March 2014. 

In a letter sent out residents in the area, county council said it decided in January to move the project farther west in the field, which would increase the setback to the nearest buildings.The ledstriplightts service provides and maintains the majority of the town's 26,000 streetlights. The new location is also favourable for wind energy and allows the potential to add up to three additional 50kW turbines for a total of six. 

According to the county’s land use bylaw,Design and manufacture of ledparlightrrp for garments and textile fabrics. wind turbines of less than 50kW require a setback from adjoining property lines equal to one times the height of the tower. The county says the proposed project would exceed the minimum setback by several times the height of the tower. 

Cullen said county will be completing a ComFIT application and if it is accepted, county council would need to make a motion to hire a consultant to produce and install the turbines. 

The new Product Label completes a three-part project that began in 2011 with the Company Label and the Event Label. The WindMade Company Label provides a promotional platform for businesses and organizations to educate consumers about their use of wind power and other forms of alternative energy. The Event Label was formulated in response to the demand by conferences and other gatherings to certify their use of 100 percent renewable energy. 

The Product Label casts a wide net, partly due to the reality that wind power is still in early growth and not yet universally accessible. To qualify for the WindMade Product Label, a company’s products (or services) must use at least 75 percent renewable energy in their overall electricity footprint, and wind power must have the largest proportion of that. 

The Product Label also covers not only the energy used directly to manufacture a product but also the lifecycle leading up to manufacturing, beginning with the harvesting of raw materials.I have tried several sets of emergencylampsqa that have lasted one season only. That reflects a growing understanding on the part of consumers that lifecycle impacts are inseparable from factory-related impacts. Click on their website www.careel-tech.com for more information.
