Windstream
Technologies is playing a pivotal role in the world’s largest hybrid renewable
energy project. Commissioned on the roof of law firm Myers, Fletcher and Gordon
(MFG) in Kingston, Jamaica, and being referred to as a landmark urban
installation, the project consists of 50 WindStream SolarMill® units used to
capture available wind and solar resources.
The
installation is expected to generate over 106,000 kWh of renewable energy each
year, (25kW of wind and 55kW of solar) with a return on investment of less than
four years. Over the course of an approximate 25-year life span, the energy
cost savings are expected to exceed $2 million. WindStream was awarded the
project due to its ability to maximize energy production and return on
investment – all in an area consisting of limited roof space.
“We have
been at the forefront of the Jamaican legal landscape for 70 years and we are
pleased to be continuing that trend by leading inJamaican sustainability and
renewable energy,” said Donovan Cunningham, COO of Myers Fletcher & Gordon.
“This was a bold undertaking and we expect to reap rich rewards through our
partnership with WindStream.”
The MFG
SolarMill installation is a component of an overall effort by Jamaica Public
Service (JPS) to provide greater access to renewable energy solutions in a
country where the cost of energy is over three times the US average. JPS and
WindStream also worked with Eaton Houghton of Caribbean ESCO as the Caribbean’s
lead energy efficiency auditor for the project.
“We are
proud to be working with JPS, which is distributing our products within Jamaica
and throughout the Caribbean,” said Travis Campbell, COO of WindStream
Technologies. “This SolarMill installation is an excellent model for other
businesses to follow. If you are interested in energy efficiency and saving
money, SolarMills are a simple, cost-effective solution.”
