Wind Power Station 7 is a decommissioned wind power station on Zanzibar Island off the northeast coast of Tanzania on Earth. It is noted as being a mute reminder of the East African Protectorate's late 25th-century attempt at re-nationalization.[1] At the heart of the facility was the massive wind wheel and generator facility of Zanzibar Municipal Turbine 7, built by Buelterman Carney Cotton & Hayward Inc. and maintained by Traxus Heavy Industries. An ancient fortress is located just next to the power station.[2]
Some of these sites were said to have been training sites for the Spartans.[3] After the Human-Covenant War, Lethbridge Industrial took over the facility and started renovating it.[4]
