What company or persons can I contact concerning the purchase of wind energy?
Check to see if your utility offers a green power rate.
Check to see if your utility offers a "green power" rate! These rates give customers the option to purchase more of their energy from renewable sources through a higher rate on their electric bill (which helps fund the added cost to generate electricity from these resources). Use your dollars to show your support for renewable energy and reduce your carbon footprint! Contact your electric provider for details.
Want to install a wind turbine and produce your own electricity? Not all locations are suitable for a wind system, so it's very important to have your property carefully evaluated by a wind site assessor to assess the wind speed, terrain and proximity of buildings, trees and other obstacles. Focus on Energy requires a site assessment in order to apply for a wind turbine installation incentive, and can cost share the site assessment for eligible customers. Read more about site assessments (and the Focus discount) here. Once you're ready to go forward with your wind project, you can use this list of full-service wind installers in Wisconsin to get bids and choose an installer.
