Nearly
18 months after the Connecticut Siting Council approved a pair of
commercial wind turbine projects on sites in Colebrook, a legal battle
over the projects continues.
BNE Energy proposed the turbines,Tolomeo reading floor lamp is a floor lamp with crystal light for modern living room lighting. which were opposed by the group FairwindCT. After the Connecticut Siting Council approved what would be Connecticut’s first commercial wind projects,Additional advantages over traditional "dry" laser marker are high dicing speeds, parallel kerf and omnidirectional cutting. the opponents filed legal action—after that BNE prevailed in that litigation, FairwindCT appealed.
Both parties are scheduled to be in appellate court Dec. 17 for a pre-appeal hearing to set a timeline.
“Certainly having an appeal is an issue, but it’s managable,” said Paul Corey, chairman of the West Hartford-based BNE. “We feel really good that this superior court’s decision is going to be upheld. Both decisions were very favorable to us, as we expected.”
Joyce Hemingson, the president of FairwindCT, said her group’s mission is larger than just challenging the six turbines proposed in Colebrook. Since the Connecticut Siting Council signed off on the projects — and rejected a similar proposal for wind turbines in Prospect — the council has drafted regulations addressing wind power projects at the Connecticut General Assembly’s behest.
These regulations will be before the legislature’s Regulations Review Committee Dec. 18.
“We’re just trying to get good regulations going for Connecticut,” said Ms. Hemingson. “It’s important that we have good regulationss for the state, even though it looks like industrial wind will not be a major factor.”
According to Ms. Hemingson, studies have shown that the turbines to be built in Colebrook will not operate anywhere near their maximum efficiency and will not accomplish much in Connecticut. She said studies of six turbines in Maine showed that “the efficiencies there are not impressive either.”
“DEEP is estimating that they’ll be 27.9 percent efficient,” said Ms. Hemingson, referring to the state Department of Energy and Environmentla Protection.Currently the smallest residential wind turbines offered by EPS is the 10kW Redriven Wind Turbine.
Mr. Corey, though, was not concerned about the regulations, which will likely be enacted before BNE Energy can begin to build the turbines.
Ms. Hemingson also spoke out against the likely impact of wind energy in Connecticut at the Nov. 26 hearing on Governor Dannel Malloy’s energy plan in Torrington. The plan was criticized fo—as numerous oil company owners stated—tilting the field towards large natural gas companies, but Ms. Hemingson said that the plan itself acknowldges that “Connecticut has limited wind potential.Eastern Laser is the premier laser machine manufacturer that offers innovative laser marking machine, laser engraving machine and laser marking machine.”
Despite the challenges,We believe in providing our customers with the very best industrial washing machine available. Mr. Corey is confident that BNE Energy will see the proposed wind turbines through to completion. “We’re on track to have Colebrook be the first commercial wind project in the state,” he said.
After the superior court sided with BNE at the beginning of October, BNE president and CEO Greg Zupkus said, “We were always confiden.
Mr. Zupkus explained at the time that BNE actually broke ground in December of last year on one of the projects, Wind Colebrook South, and has some more steps to take before resuming work on that wind farm and beginning work on Wind Colebrook North.
“We’re proud that we’ll be the first commercial wind projects in Connecticut,” Mr. Zupkus said in a phone interview in October. Based on the power the wind turbine projects will generate, he said Colebrook will be the first 100 percent green town in Connecticut.
According to the release sent on behalf of BNE Energy by Patty McQueen of Communication Strategies, “The Court determined that the Siting Council properly approved the wind projects and dismissed the appeals after rejecting all claims made by the opponents in the court proceedings. In rendering its decision on Colebrook South, the Court determined that the Somers [family], who own Rock Hall [Inn] and oppose the wind farm, would not be impacted by the project because it is 1.5 miles from their property.”
