facts/figures about the turbine: Zephyr, Jiminy's 1.5MW wind
turbine, provides approximately 33% of the electrical demands of
Jiminy Peak annually. During the winter months, when the wind
resource is the strongest, it may provide as much as half of our
electrical demand. - The turbine generates approximately
4,600,000 kWh each year of which, Jiminy Peak uses about half. -
The wind turbine sits atop a 253 ft tower. - The nacelle that
sits on top of the structure and houses the shaft for the
blades, the gearbox and the generator is approximately 13 ft
wide and 13 ft tall and 26 ft long. - Each of the 3 blades is
approximately 123ft, therefore to the tip of the blade the
entire structure is 386 feet tall. - The blades turn a maximum
of 22 RPM even in high wind conditions. - The installed turbine
price was approximately $4 million. Jiminy received a renewable
