Muroran City built a 490kW wind turbine to take
advantage of the regular Muroran seasonal wind at the fixed
direction, and the generated power is used to illuminate the
Hakucho
Bridge, a symbol of the city.
The power is also used to light the Hakucho Bridge Commemorative
Hall.
The amount of power generated is displayed to promote the benefits
of wind power generation to the many tourists and local residents
who visit the hall. |
