Peter Island in the British Virgin Islands is set to receive two 250 kW wind turbines.

Peter Island Wind Project will be the first commercial wind turbine installation in the British Virgin Islands. The turbines will operate off the local government’s power grid, and they are expected to provide more than 60% of the island’s peak load energy requirements.

The WES30 Mk1 Hybrid from Netherlands-based Wind Energy Solutions will be used, and the installation is scheduled for January 2010. The most critical factor in the actual schedule will be the manufacturing and shipping of the wind turbines. It appears the current factory commitments will allow the equipment to be delivered as originally proposed with less production time required. It is hoped the Planning process will be completed by the end of September.

Peter Island already operates off the government grid with its own diesel power plant and desalination facility. It is anticipated the two (2) turbines will provide in excess of 60% of the peak load energy requirements.

The homebuying process can seem complicated, but if you take things step-by-step, you will soon be holding the keys to your own home.

Nine steps to buying a home
1. Figure out how much you can afford
2. Know your rights
3. Shop for a loan
4. Learn about homebuying programs
5. Shop for a home
6. Make an offer
7. Get a home inspection
8. Shop for homeowners insurance
9. Sign papers

Step 1: Figure out how much you can afford
What you can afford depends on your income, credit rating, current monthly expenses, downpayment and the interest rate. Online calculators can help, but it is best to visit a lender to find out for sure. A housing counselor or your Coldwell Banker agent can help you figure out how to manage and pay off your debt, and start saving for a downpayment.

Step 2: Know your rights
Check with your Coldwell Banker agent for the laws applicable to buying real estate. Be informed about the total cost of your loan including the interest rate, points and other fees. Ask questions about charges and loan terms that you do not understand.

Step 3: Shop for a loan
Save money by doing your homework. Talk to several lenders, compare costs and interest rates, negotiate to get a better deal. Consider getting pre-approved for a loan.

Step 4: Learn about homebuying programs
Ask your Coldwell Banker agent about special programs to help you into home ownership.

Step 5: Shop for a home
Know your needs and wants. Check on extra fees, like homeowner association dues or assessments.

Step 6: Make an offer
Discuss the process with your Coldwell Banker real estate agent. If the seller counters your offer, you may need to negotiate until you both agree to the terms of the sale.

Step 7: Get a home inspection
Make your offer contingent on a home inspection. An inspection will tell you about the condition of the home, and can help you avoid buying a home that needs major repairs.

Step 8: Shop for homeowners insurance
Lenders require that you have homeowners insurance. Be sure to shop around.

Step 9: Sign papers
You’re finally ready to go to “settlement” or “closing.” Be sure to read everything before you sign, and ask questions of your Coldwell Banker Realtor or the real estate attorney if you don’t understand.
