Windpower Projects:

The Answer is Blowing in the Wind (on Guadeloupe islands)

Short description: In 1993, France's first combined wind-and-diesel-powered project got going on La Désirade. Twelve 12-kW wind-powered generators were set up at an altitude of 270 m on the island's high table-land facing the open sea. The new wind-energy park can now produce about 80% of the island's power requirements. In slack local energy-demand periods, La Désirade even exports wind-generated electricity to Guadeloupe.
Total project cost: 9.5 Millions FF (~ 1.45 Million EUR)
EU contribution: 3.2 Millions FF(~ 0.5 Million EUR)
