City Councilwoman Sissi Bruch said last week the turbines were intended to do more than generate electricity.

“They were also meant to educate folks about wind power,” she said.

But Bruch regretted joining the council’s unanimous decision in 2015 to approve the purchase.

“These are not giving us the quantity of energy that we would use, that we would want,” she said.

“I did not realize they would produce so little energy. I wouldn’t have voted for it knowing it was that little.

...

The turbines will illuminate the park with safety lighting for about $1.25 a month of the $1.50 that will be generated, putting the remaining 25 cents of power back into the BPA grid, which the city will get paid for, Shere said.
