A new report said relocating one of Falmouth’s wind turbines to a new location could produce a net profit in the millions over the next 20 years. 

Falmouth would have to pay about $3 million to dismantle and move the 400-foot turbine up about a half mile northeast of where it currently stands. The Cape Cod Times reported the turbine’s operation would not only ultimately cover that cash outlay, but produce a net profit of $5.7 million over 20 years. 

Weston & Sampson, an engineering firm hired to look at alternative locations for the turbine, said there is a substantial benefit to the movement plan. 

Falmouth’s two town-owned turbines were subjected to multiple lawsuits and were court ordered to not be operated where they currently stand.
