(The National) - Dubai now has a vertical axis wind turbine, a first for the emirate, installed on the campus of the Rochester Institute of Technology’s branch in the emirate.
The installation of the 10-kilowatt turbine is the result of a collaboration between RIT Dubai and Italy-based Ecolibri, a renewables company with a focus on wind energy.
