(C-BED) Community Based Wind Projects

The community demand for alternative energy has grown extensively within the last few years. Many businesses have become active members of the “Wind Power Generation”. This includes local small business owners, farmers, schools and universities.

Wind projects are rapidly being considered a community-owned asset. These projects can vary from a single turbine to a community-owned, full size commercial-scale wind farm. Lee Wind Energy is equipped to handle wind powered projects of any size and type.

Community Wind Benefits

Farmers and property owners who lease their land for wind farms or wind based projects enjoy a steady income and experience little or no disturbance to grazing routines or their farming operations. Towns and communities benefit from a larger tax base, which supports schools and local infrastructure. The development and operation of the wind project creates temporary construction jobs and long-term management jobs.
