WEPS: Wind Energy Predevelopment Support

Promoting Wind Power in Massachusetts Communities

With the support of the Massachusetts Renewable Energy Trust, RERL works with communities that are considering wind power.

Why Wind Energy?

Windpower is the most rapidly growing electric power source in the U.S. today, but Massachusetts has been slow to follow this trend. Massachusetts is already benefiting from windpower and customer demand for clean energy is growing.

How Can I Participate?

Communities can contact MTC to begin discussions about their wind power prospects. Refer to these documents for more information:

For projects not participating in MTC's Community Wind Collaborative, this survey form will help in gathering information needed to begin evaluating a site.

Support

This program is made possible by the support of the Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative. It is part of the NREL's State-based Anemometer Loan Program.
