Community Wind
Community wind, in which local ownership plays a major role, is one of the fastest growing markets in the U.S. According to the American Wind Energy Association's Annual Wind Market Report in 2009, there were over 50 different Community Wind projects installed, representing roughly 5.6 percent of the wind capacity installed for the year. Community wind has already proven to be extremely successful and widespread in Europe, particularly in Germany and Denmark where Community Wind is said to have been born.
