60K a year is great savings for a little town. The problem is that they planned for 125% of the cities need, and the company that owns the windmills has the rights to sell the power to others, not your city. This is a flaw in the leasing and why I turned down that option when offered it here. If I am going to attempt to create extra capacity, I am not going to let someone else reap the benefits. the city should have planned for 75% of need, and added a solar farm at the airport like Indianapolis Airport did, or on top of government building etc. Create some power during day for when wind is slower. This sounds like it was someones pet project, or relative who was paid for the project, so they went all in without thinking about the consequences.
