Saint Paul Wind Turbine: A Landmark of Sustainability

Standing at an impressive 242 feet, the Saint Paul Wind Turbine is a striking landmark visible across much of the City of Worcester. Harnessing the power of nature, this state-of-the-art turbine uses advanced sensors and computer systems to automatically rotate and align with the direction of the wind. When wind speeds reach over 55 mph, the turbine safely stops and locks into place, ensuring both safety and sustainability.
