Benefits of Community Wind
- Locally: Ownership is retained in the community and profits are recycled, creating incremental jobs, wages, business income and local pride.
- Nationally: Community wind developers and their financial partners are typically U.S.-based, ensuring profits from these projects are put back into the homeland economy, not shipped overseas.
- Globally: Increased success rate of community wind projects leads to increased knowledge, awareness and acceptance of wind power, thus reducing public opposition.
