Public Coop Set to Build Ten Wind Turbines in Western Massachusetts. By Scott Staffort, Berkshire Eagle, August 31, 2008. "The new owners of the Berkshire Wind project on Brodie Mountain are on the brink of ordering 10 1.5 megawatt wind turbines for installation at some point during the coming two years... The $45 million Berkshire Wind Project on Brodie Mountain was bought by Berkshire Wind Power Cooperative Corp. -- a collaboration of 14 members of the nonprofit Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company -- on June 12 for $4 million. During the 10-year history of the project development, Distributed Generation Systems had invested more than $6 million, according to statements made by company president Dale Osborne. But during the past couple of years, the venture had languished due to litigation filed by a neighboring development project, Silverleaf Resorts. The lawsuit since has since been settled."
