The Scituate wind turbine.
Responding to years of complaints from neighbors that they canât sleep at night because of the noise from the Scituate Wind turbine, the Scituate Select Board ordered the operation shut down at night â from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. â from mid-May to mid-October.
The seasonal hiatus will cost the town about $96,000, according to data from Scituate Wind, the private company that owns and runs the 400-foot-tall turbine on town property under a contract with the town.
