EPA Webinar Highlights New Renewable Energy Purchasing Program for Major Power Users

.

A webinar will be held Thursday, July 29, for companies and institutions that use large amounts of electricity to buy clean renewable energy in a "financially neutral" way while participating in community wind power development. The webinar will be hosted by the EPA’s Green Power Partnership and will be held from 1 to 2:15 p.m. EST. The Windfrastructure Partner Program, launched by utility-scale community wind projects developer National Wind, involves projects ranging from 2 MW to grid-scale. The webinar will address the types of community wind projects, the benefits and challenges of community wind development, elements that contribute to successful projects, project development processes and timelines and possible financial structures and ownership models. National Wind says the investments are financially neutral because the added cost of buying renewable energy is offset by the economic interests participants receive in the wind farm.  

Quick Take: Robert Martorano, managing director of Deutsche Bank's Asset Finance & Leasing Group, is calling this an ‘attractive alternative’ and we’re going to take his word for it.
