Green Power: Wind Energy Production
The table below on the right provides the annual wind energy production by town for those towns that had net metered
wind producers during this time period. It also provides a link to each town's web page. The number of wind turbines
on the Cape, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket has been growing in recent years and is expected to increase dramatically
in 2009 and 2010 with large municipal wind turbines. In 2007, the wind turbine at the Mass Maritime Academy produced
nearly 1 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power - a harbinger of a carbon-free, energy-independent future!
The table and map below provide the annual wind power production by town based on data from net-metered wind turbines
reported to the state's tracking system.
-
Click on the
 markers on the map or the first column
of the table in the row for the town to see graphs of the production history (in kWh) and the growing number of
wind turbines in each town, as well as to access information on high-profile installations. The total usage
for the town is also shown (Cape & Vineyard data courtesy
