Saint Francis Renewable Energy Center To Provide Wind Evaluations For Landowners
|
|
The Saint Francis University Renewable Energy Center was recently awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Community Foundation for the Alleghenies to provide reports on wind resources for Pennsylvanian landowners. The lift on the electricity cap has left farmers and rural small businesses with rapid increases in electricity costs. Wind turbines in areas with good resources will help to reduce that cost, increase revenue streams, and lower overhead.
Identification of a site’s wind resource is critical in determining feasibility of a potential wind project. The REC will use their systems and data to prepare wind resource assessment reports for your specific site with detailed information.
Those with sufficient wind resources will be provided with information on choosing reputable wind installers. Those without the sufficient wind resource will be advised on other possible renewable energy sources to utilize.
Due to the grant this service will be free to landowners throughout Pennsylvania. More information and applications for the program is available online or by sending email to renewable@francis.edu.
The Saint Francis University Renewable Energy Center is honored to receive this national USDA award and continued support from the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies. The support maintains our Community Wind Power Project that assists the economic development of our area in an environmentally sustainable way.
