Wind-Powered Municipalities

In this environment of rising energy costs, municipalities are still expected to maintain public services and infrastructure while balancing their budgets. A capital investment in a Northwind 100 Arctic wind turbine offers your town a local solution to ballooning operational expenses and energy budgets. The cost benefits become clear to your community as your energy savings over time benefit new public programs or help balance budgets... all while your town projects an image of sustainability and cost consciousness to your neighbors and residents.

From lower energy bills to community thought leaderships,
municipalities win when they implement wind power.

• Meeting RPS goals: Many local governments have enacted Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards to lead their communities into a greener world. When a town erects a community-scale wind turbine, it makes a marked impact on RPS goals and acts as a visible sign of the town's commitment.
• Green economy: Your community-based wind turbine...and each new installation it fosters will bring high value engineering and construction jobs to your local community.
• Lower operational costs: See your town's electrical costs drop the second your blades start spinning.
• Tax payer benefits: When infrastructure costs go down, your residents benefit with balanced municipal budgets and a lower tax burden.
• Stable cost of power: You'll know what your wind-powered electricity will cost for 20 years or more so you can safeguard your budget against the volatile and increasing costs of energy.
• Educational opportunities: A turbine in your town's backyard offers experiential science, math, civic, and environmental lessons for local schoolchildren.

• Energy independence: creating power locally empowers communities to take control of their energy future.
