Jiminy Peak: There’s Something New On The Horizon

11:07AM / Thursday, August 21, 2008

Since 2007, visitors to Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort have been seeing something new on the horizon. A wind turbine standing taller than the Statue Of Liberty now adorns the landscape. In fact, the 378-foot high windmill is the only one of its kind on a ski resort in North America.

Jiminy Peak is the first privately owned company as well as the first ski resort in North America to install a Megawatt wind turbine. On Thursday, September 4th, OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) at BCC presents, James Van Dyke, Vice President of Environment Sustainability at Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort who will discuss the resort’s new turbine and its impact. In addition, a film demonstrating how turbines harness wind power for energy will be shown. The presentation takes place from 10:30am to noon at Hancock Shaker Village in Hancock, MA.

The Jiminy Peak ski resort’s 1.5 Megawatt wind turbine was installed at the hefty price tag of $3.5 million. Mr. Van Dyke will explain how the resort came to invest in this ambitious project, what obstacles had to be overcome to install it and what are the anticipated outcomes of this technology.

The establishment of a wind turbine of this magnitude is a prime example of how private enterprise can effectively invest in energy saving technology and act responsibly to preserve our natural resources. Has the project lived up to its expectations? Does it produce enough electricity to make a difference? Has it been a financially viable project? Mr. Van Dyke will answer these and other questions of interest.

The cost to attend this lecture is $10.00 for OLLI members; $15.00 for non-members.

For information on this program and to register, call the OLLI office at 413-236-2190 or visit www.BerkshireOLLI.org. You may pay at the door.
