 UPDATE  The Small Wind Turbine Installation Workshop is now full, and registrations will be added to a waiting list in case of cancellations. Contact the Minnesota Renewable Energy Society for more information.

Landowner scale wind turbine energy production systems, grants and funding for sources for wind generation projects will be discussed.

This workshop is designed to answer basic questions on small wind energy systems and to discuss local, state and federal programs available to finance small-scale projects.

The Office of Energy Security at the Minnesota Department of Commerce is working to move Minnesota toward a sustainable energy future, managing energy assistance funds, advocating in the public interest on energy utility rates and facility siting. We provide information and assistance to residents, builders, utilities, non-profits and policy-makers on home improvements, financial assistance, renewable technologies including wind energy information, policy initiatives, and utility regulations.

Wind-electric systems require the most maintenance and have the most problems of any renewable electricity system. This workshop will include a brief review of basic wind-electric system design principles and practice, and then focus on maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of these systems.
