PublicView: Your Community’s Window Into Your Northern Power 100

The turbine is up and spinning, the ribbon cutting is over, and most of the news crews have gone home but neighbors, residents, and customers are still calling, inquiring, and visiting the newest addition to their town. PublicView is an engaging and sleek web based tool that can provide answers to the questions people are asking:

• How much power is the turbine producing?
• How windy is it today?
• How many tons of carbon has it offset?  What is its equivalent in terms of trees planted and number of cars taken off the road?

Your turbine will be the center of attention for at least the first few years of operation. Giving your neighbors a window into its benefits can encourage long-term support and a sense of community involvement while creating various marketing opportunities:

• Businesses can keep customers engaged while marketing their commitment to socially responsible business practices.
• Municipalities and local governments can keep their residents informed about the community wind project that they helped bring to fruition by sharing real time cost savings and performance data.
• Schools can utilize turbine output data to educate students, parents, and community residents about the benefits of renewable energy.

PublicView is part of our SmartView family of web-based monitoring products that are accessible from anywhere in the world.
