The good, clean air is up much higher.

There’s one poorly done piece of research about clustering vertical turbines that people misuse to think that clusters of verticals are a good idea.

The location is off Mellieha bay. Which is one of the most important anchorage areas for ships coming to receive bunkers/stores/supplies in Malta.
Hope to have these wind farms soon and hopefully more wind farms to be built in the future.

most of the other turbines will be catching irractic turbulence.
it may also be fighting with the natural movement in a storm.
plus vertical turbines are better for open sea as it places most of the weight below water level.
