but it didn't last even a year. After a colorful launch
these two wind turbine which is part of a Hybrid Power Plant,
a mix of diesel engine,solar and wind meant for the villager on the island
failed and had been down since.
If the wind turbine had been running well there would be some extra power
that could be eventually sold to the hoteliers on the island
who have been depending on their own individual diesel generating sets
for power thus contributing to air and noise pollution with the risk of oil spillage
on a beautiful tourism island where diving and water activities is a major attraction.
The big question posed by most of the islander is
why can't somebody get it repaired?
or is it going to be another white elephant?

The beautiful stairways to the jetty about 100 meter down.

You mean, the wind turbine broke down just within one year time? So fast?
LuPorTi,
Yah,that's what happened.
Oh. Unfortunately.

Thomas,
Satu lagi projek kerajaan .....
mcam Aida, suka gambar 6-tangga ke jeti..Cantik.
nak mendaki tangga tu rasanya saya terpaksa fikir 10 kali...tak larat..!!
suka tangga tu cantik tapi kalau nak mendaki mmg habis tenaga kat tengah jalan tu je :)
ye lah, tangga tu nampak cantik..sure penat nak sampai ke atas. :-).
and I like the last one too.
Typical solar panel can last min 20 yrs with minimum maintenance. I wonder if they're still working?
Wind turbines stop working after less than a year? That's really bad. Nice shots by the way.
nice pictures..
love it
cantik
