Applications
With the rising cost of energy, the Northwind 100 provides real power solutions for municipalities, farms, schools, businesses, rural utilities and off grid village applications—helping to shape the way we think about community wind and local power.
Community wind energy provides an opportunity to generate both energy and revenue while keeping energy dollars local and protecting the environment of the communities that they serve. “Since installing Toksook Bay’s wind turbines last year, we’ve reduced our fuel use by 20 percent,” said Brent Petrie, a manager for the Alaska Village Electric Cooperative, a customer of Northern’s, which hopes to install turbines in 27 of the 53 communities it serves.
The Northwind 100 is making measurable economic impacts in the lives of people who have made these elegant towers their partners in change.
