I’m planning to make yet another addition to my list of renewable energy investment opportunities: the development of a smallish wind farm in Sardinia. Apparently, power from wind turbines that are rated under 60 KW is greeted with a huge feed-in tariff (more than 26 Eurocents per KWh for 20 years). An associate of mine in Paris plans to deploy an array of 18 specially built small/mid-sized turbines (55 KW apiece) to generate a total nameplate capacity of 1 MW, using land high up on a rocky mesa, leased from a farmer with huge flocks of sheep.
