New Hampshire Electric Cooperative

Multiple Locations, NH

SGE was retained by the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative to screen potential wind turbine sites during the application process of the 2009 Small Wind Turbine Program. The program offers a rebate of up to 25% of the installed cost of a small wind turbine. The goal of the screening process is to determine if the applicant site is a “good” site for a wind turbine, where there is a reasonable expectation that there will be sufficient wind energy for a feasible project.
