I never had problems with turbines on the same tower as other things. The 3 phase is probably a variable frequency that is converted at the bottom to something usable. 10 kW is not going to bother the ethernet if it is wired properly. An electric furnace in a home has that much power consumption and you probably would not hesitate to run CAT5 around a mechanical room with a furnace in it.

I haven't seen it yet, but the dimensions of the tower sound simlar to a Rohn 45G. One of my colleagues is concerned about vibration from the turbine doing something bad to us. There's also 3-phase AC running down from the turbine. I'm concerned about colo-ing ethernet with (up to) 10KW of AC power. Has anybody been down this road? Am I just being paranoid?
