Wind energy is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean and reduces greenhouse gas missions when it displaces fossil-fuel-derived electricity. Therefore, it is considered by experts to be more environmentally friendly than many other energy sources. Nowadays the supply of oil and gas is not always secure and certainly not predictable. Energy prices fluctuate and increase on a daily basis. A Gaia-Wind turbine allows you to create your own independent source of energy.
Contrary to popular belief, periods of low wind do not create problems to a wind turbine user. Because more power is generated at higher wind speeds, much of the energy is generated in short bursts. Nonetheless, good wind conditions are critical to ensure adequate turbine operation.
There are a number of sources that will help you assess this:
Other important success factors include the correct siting of the turbine, the cost of electricity and grant availability. Please contact us for information on the financial incentives in your area. Alternatively, you can research the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) at: http://dsireusa.org
At present, Gaia-Wind is listed as a qualified wind generator with the following incentive programs (other applications are currently in progress):
- NYSERDA (NY)
- Focus on Energy (WI)
- Clean Energy Program (NJ)
