3. 2.2 Located in Aurich, Lower Saxony, Germany Fourth largest
wind turbine manufacturer in the world
4. The energy crisis is a huge problem today, which in turn has
led to a growing threat of global warming. Alternative energies
(such as wind) deliver power with minimal threat to the
environment. Our firm has planned and designed a wind farm to help
with both major problems. 3.1

14. The population of Cape Cod is 215,888 as of 2010 The
majority of the eastern population is seasonal Lowest reported bat
deaths due to collisions. Bird migratory path through the west part
of the peninsula. The east shore is still safe to build on without
harming any migratory birds. 4.91
15. East coast of Cape Cod 30 turbines Average of 1.5 miles
offshore Underground power lines will connect to the indicated
high-voltage wires Arrow points to added substation 4.92
17. Substation and Clean Power Electrical hookup requires
collector substation Less than 2 miles from wind farm Ensure clean
power is uploaded to grid 4.94

24. Laying the foundation will take 2 weeks. The concrete is
given 2 weeks to completely harden 1.5 years to complete
installation of turbines Apporx. 2 weeks to set power connections
Another several weeks for inspection 5.7

26. Each turbine costs around $14.2 Million delivered. The land
and installation costs total to $622,000 per turbine. The total
cost for the turbine units is $426 Million. The total project cost
will be estimated at $444.66 Million. 5.9
