University of Massachusetts Renewable Energy Research Laboratory. "A Case Study on Community Wind Development (PDF 361 KB) Discussion:Operating since December 2001, this turbine represents a pioneering effort in community wind. Many communities throughout the region are seeking to replicate Hull's success.
