This modern windmill is a verticle-axis type windmill, sometimes called an "eddy" windwill. There are several of them located in the greenspace near the Gateway Village outlet mall in Port Borden (Borden-Carlton), Prince Edward Island, Canada.
This windmill is also outfitted with a solar panel, so the overhead light is dual-powered.
Here is a link to an interesting website with some VERY odd windmill designs (some are just in development stage, others have been produced):
