Right Fit

What makes a Northwind 100 the right fit for your project?

Faced with increasing utility costs and an uncertain energy future, business owners, farmers, town planners and school administrators are reaping the benefits of their own power production by erecting turbines in their communities. These community scale wind turbines will save tens of thousands of dollars a year for their turbine owners and make energy independence a reality. Northern Power Systems is the global leader in community wind projects and its American-made Northwind 100 can be found powering resorts, grocery stores, churches, schools, farms, and wastewater facilities from Alaska to Italy.

The Right Size
At 121 feet tall at the hub, the Northwind 100 is a community-sized turbine. Easier to permit and within scale of other community structures, the Northwind 100 delivers real energy solutions. Its low height profile resembles that of water towers, church steeples and lighthouses—positioning these renewable energy sources as the new beacons of the 21st century.

The Right Design
Our team of talented engineers created a technologically advanced turbine that meets the highest standards of safety and reliability while delivering an elegant and sleek design ideally suited for community landscapes. The image of a Northwind 100 spinning quietly just above tree line will become the new symbol of clean, domestic, on-site power.

The Right Amount of Power
If your wind turbine site has an average wind speed of
6 meters per second, your Northwind 100 will produce more than 200,000 kilowatt hours of energy annually. For many businesses and municipality projects, this could offset the majority of their energy use. For large schools, it may only produce a quarter of their energy needs while also providing an educational opportunity for students, teachers and the local community. It depends on your energy goals and how you define success for your renewable energy project. By making the commitment to produce a portion of your power from wind, you are supporting a sustainable energy future while saving money.
