Component pieces of 22 wind turbines began their journey today, from Searsport to Stratton, where they will be erected as part of Kibby Wind Power, a planned 44-turbine, 132-megawatt wind development of TransCanada Corporation. What a site…Dad and I walked up to route 1 to see the first of the series…

The turbines, built by Danish turbine manufacturer Vestas, arrived by ship in early March at Mack Point cargo facility in Searsport. The first trucks are scheduled to leave Mack Point Wednesday morning, June 3, following Route 1 to Route 3 before heading to Western Maine.
