This section of our website is for people interested in participating in a wind energy project.

Community wind projects are simply projects where some member or members of the local community, be it a farmer, group of neighbors, municipal utility, school, or other person or group, has a significant financial stake in the project. If you or a group you are part of is interesting in developing a project, the Community Wind section is for you.

If you are interested in particpating in a wind project by leasing your land to a wind developer, or if a wind developer has approached you with an offer to lease you land, the Leasing Your Land to a Developer section is where you should start.

Home and farm scale projects use smaller machines that, in general, produce enough electricity to power a single home, farm, ranch, or business. These machines cost in the range of a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars to put up.
