Leases for Landowners
If you are interested in participating in a wind project by leasing your land to a wind developer, or if a wind developer has approached you with an offer to lease your land, we recommend starting with our Leasing Your Land to a Developer section.

- Community Wind Toolbox: Leases and Easements
Community Wind Projects
Community wind projects are simply projects where some member or members of the local community, be it a farmer, group of neighbors, municipal utility, school, or other person or group, has a significant financial stake in the project. If you or a group you are part of is interesting in developing a project, the Community Wind section is for you.
Home and Farm Scale Projects
These projects use smaller machines that, in general, produce enough electricity to power a single home, farm, ranch or business. These machines cost in the range of a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars to put up. Click below for more information or to visit our Home and Farm Scale Wind section.
