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.
