A model wind-generator design (UWM-1) structured for use in the Umudike community has been done. Design was based mainly on data from wind studies within the community. With two blade-propellers operating from a hub height of 67m, power in excess of 150MWh per annum is derivable which can be utilized in various forms to support domestic and industrial activities of the community.
