Wind Workshop
A workshop for Massachusetts non-profit organizations and government agencies interested in building their own on-site wind power, sponsored by PowerOptions and the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative.
The state's Renewable Energy Trust offers funding for wind power feasibility studies. The next deadline for applications is February 21, 2008. This workshop is designed specifically for nonprofits and government agencies that have an interest in exploring development of a wind project, to give them the all of the basic information they need to decide whether to pursue a feasibility study.
