“…production figures are consistent with your predictions but far exceed the estimates of the local energy consultants who are amazed by its overall production. Visitors are impressed that it is so quiet and that it is productive even in reasonably light winds….”

Mr. Bronte-Stewart, Owner, Middlepart

Whether you run a garden center, a candy factory, or a ski resort, your concerns are likely the same – keeping business costs down while remaining profitable. But operational costs are difficult to contain or plan for when the energy future is volatile. In an unpredictable energy landscape, it’s important to make savvy business decisions that are forward thinking and financially sound. Harnessing the wind that blows across parking lots and rooftops and turning it into a clean energy investment can make a real difference in the bottom line from one year to the next.

Lower overhead- See your electrical costs drop the second your blades start spinning. These savings, coupled with state or federal incentive programs, can offset your capital costs in several years-allowing you to put more of your profits back into your business.

Tax advantages- Between the federal investment tax credit and grant program and the rules for claiming depreciation on wind turbines, an investment in wind power today translates to real benefits that businesses can take advantage of in the tax years to come.

Stable cost of power- Whatever the market price of electricity, you know what your wind-powered electricity will be costing you for 20 years or more so you can safeguard your operational budget against the volatile and increasing cost of energy.

The “greening” of business- Discerning consumers put a premium on products and services that are created through sustainable and environmentally friendly business practices.
Marketing opportunities- Whether you’ve been around for five years or fifty, a new wind turbine can bring high visibility and a renewed sense of interest in your business.
