BC Hydro Congratulates Grouse Mountain on 'The Eye of the Wind' Turbine's Successful Clean Energy Generation
BC Hydro and the Minister of Energy congratulated Grouse Mountain
Resort for successfully energizing The Eye of the Wind on Wednesday,
enabling the turbine to begin generating clean electricity, and
creating a highly visible and inspirational landmark for renewable

The Eye of the Wind has a capacity of 1.5 megawatts - which Grouse
Mountain estimates is enough to power up to 400 homes a year - and is
