Wind Power for Communities: a workshop for residents of rural Oregon

Northwest Sustainable Energy for Economic Development is pleased to present a workshop for rural landowners, public officials and community members interested in learning more about wind energy development. Workshop attendees came away with the knowledge and tools they need to ensure wind developments, large and small, result in the greatest local benefit. The workshop included an introduction to modern wind technology, the various scales of wind development, and state incentives and policies affecting wind energy projects. Afternoon break-out sessions with subject matter experts focused on small/community wind projects and landowner participation in large-scale wind projects were also offered.

Thank you to all our attendees and exhibitors. We hope you came away with the information you need for your own participation in wind development.
