A financial boost for a small Quispamsis company to complete projects relating to wind energy.
Sentrex Wind Services will use some of the $235,000 in federal funding they received to buy sonic detection and ranging equipment and to put up a test tower to strengthen the region’s wind energy expertise.
President Paul Woodhouse says the technology they are providing helps companies who are considering building commercial wind farms.
“In order to finance the project they need to have wind data, they need to know the speed and the direction and that’s what our device will do so our service is we put this out on the ground,” Woodhouse says.

He says they work all over Canada.
“There is a project up we’re waiting on up in the Yukon we may do, some of these trailers may be going to Northern Quebec, a lot of calls for Alberta and Saskatchewan right with their calls for green energy specifically.”
Woodhouse tells us the money from the Federal government will allow them to hire two more workers.
He says they normally have between 8 and 12 employees depending on the work and they do work all over the country.
