We are facing an uncertain energy future. With volatile fuel and electrical costs, people are no longer taking for granted where their power comes from and how rising energy costs will impact their towns, schools, and businesses. In case study after case study, the average cost of power over the lifetime of a wind turbine is dramatically lower than that of traditional sources of power. In short, the power you make is power you don’t have to pay for from other sources.

Now is the time to realize the economic benefits of owning a wind turbine:

Federal and local grants and incentives make wind power work for you. Net metering, local grants, and tax incentives are making wind turbine projects accessible across the country – even “break even” projects are becoming economic imperatives.

Even in modest wind regimes, wind turbines tend to produce more power than other renewable energy sources.

Over the life of a wind turbine, your proposed project will almost always pay for itself. In some cases it takes only several years to realize a payback – after you do, you have years of free power to look forward to.

A boost to your local economy. Local wind projects bring high-value jobs to your community from contractors to
engineering services.

“ Even though the project received government incentives that offset 50% of the project costs, the financial benefits still would have been significant without the additional support.”

“ When making an investment for a school, you need to know that the turbine will be up and running 30 years from now. This was it.”

“ With these two turbines, the Village of Cascade has taken a giant step toward energy independence. Its prudent investment in wind will enable the community to control its budget, saving money for current and future residents.”

Currie High School
"Staff were keen to ensure the construction phase has a minimal impact on the running of the school and all work was completed in a safe manner."

PATRICIA BARRY, DIRECTOR OF ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT
“ People have been calling from around the country—Michigan, Washington and California—to hear about our success story of installing a community sized turbine at our city’s school.”
