Windfarm
At the windfarm area the Government and Barbados Light and Power Company has tried to replace the current experimental turbine, and continue installing the full windfarm.[2] However, both parties have met localized opposition based on noise complaints by residents about the current abandoned turbine which has technology over 20 years old.[3]
In June 2009, it was reported in local media that the turbine was in a broken state with large sections of it lying on the ground.[4]
