We develop custom wind power facilities each time we build a project. Every project is specifically designed to accommodate a particular area’s wind resource, land features and existing farming practices.
It starts with the landowners to modify and customize a project to minimize the impact of the project on landowner farm and ranch operations while working on how to make for an efficient wind design. Project designs provide for an integration of good utility practice and the most advanced wind technology into projects. This includes work to minimize impacts on neighbors and also measure to maximize economic development for local business through the hiring and contracting program of a project.
Develop
Wind Project Development
- Wind resource forecasts using WAsP wind flow model and OpenWind
- Project and community specific job creation and employment plan development, implementation and reporting
- Land leases and easements that both provide for long term wind project as well as respect land owner and environmental considerations
Construct
Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Program Management
- In-house design, construction and maintenance of meteorological towers up to 600’ (183m)
