Wind-generated

The cable, known as NordLink, allows an exchange of green energy between the two countries, allowing solar- and wind-generated electricity from Germany to flow to Norway, which will send back power generated largely from hydroelectric plants at water reservoirs.

Now, an initiative from the private sector on wind-generated energy is paving the way forward. It’s part of a program funded in part by the World Bank called “Fighting Poverty.” It combines skilled artisans and the abundant supply of wind to make simple turbines. The local craftsmen make the wooden blades for the rotating fans, and the 10-foot high base upon which the turbines stand.
