Barbados is representative of energy markets and ecosystem conditions most islands face. Almost all small island utilities import expensive fossil fuel to run large diesel generators. As a result, energy prices for island businesses and residents are significantly higher than for mainlanders. At the same time, many islands have the right topographies and steady, strong trade winds that make them well suited for mid-level turbines. Wind Harvesters, being the height of medium size palm trees help address a confluence of other challenges that islands face in attempting to harvest the wind with traditional tall turbines. These include visual impacts on tourism, limited infrastructure (roads, ports, etc.) and environmental considerations, all of which our turbines should solve. In addition, most islands have the capacity to assemble the turbines, and three islands in the Caribbean including Barbados have existing manufacturing companies that can make most of our turbines’ components. The resulting high-paying local jobs that aren’t reliant on tourism are a political plus. This is above and beyond the benefits the islands receive from not having to import fuel. Wind blows free across the island, waiting to be harvested.
