About Vermont Community Wind

At Vermont Community Wind we value the word “Community”. We know that solid relationships between developers, land owners, local boards, local town’s people, local utility companies, and State and Federal Agencies must be formed in order for a Wind Farm project to succeed. We also know that this same community of people and the environment will prosper and thrive from Wind Farm projects that distribute clean, renewable wind energy – made and used locally.

Vermont Community Wind’s President is an Electrical engineer by training and the holder of 15 US Patents. He has developed wind farms in Scotland and in New York State and believes that it takes a committed partnership with the whole community to develop a thriving, successful wind farm for the long term.

We consider our Wind Farm projects a success, WHEN:

• the relationships formed are collaborative, built on trust and respect,
• the local production of renewable clean power is made and used in the host community, and
• the community benefits financially and environmentally

The Vermont Community Wind Farm is estimated to locally produce approximately 240,000 (MWh) Megawatt hours of energy per year. Since an average household in Vermont uses 7110 kWh of energy per year, our wind farm will produce more than enough electricity for all of the 25,683 homes in Rutland County. The Wind Farm will generate electricity which will be fed directly into the local Vermont electrical grid in the service area of the Central Vermont Public Service Corporation. Capturing this bountiful and unlimited resource will provide enormous economic and environmental benefits to the local community for many years.
