THE nation's most powerful vertical wind turbines are due to begin generating electricity in Hobart today, less than a week after wind hampered installation efforts. The Marine Board building on Hobart's waterfront will save more than 10% on its energy bill once four turbines start turning. I Want Energy cofounder Rob Manson said work was expected to begin at 9am today and, if weather permitted, it should be done by 4pm. Motorists can expect delays with Morrison St to be closed between 9am-12.30pm and a section of Franklin Wharf to shut from 12.30pm to 4. Mr Manson said even though strong winds forced workers to down tools on Sunday, delaying the installation, it had been a good outcome. "We've been able to have public open days and people have really loved the chance to get up close to the turbines and ask questions", he said.
