Small Wind Energy Leasing

From U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy:

With more than 20% of the #US population living in rural areas, small wind #energy leasing could be a game-changer for distributed #wind systems installed in rural or community sites. Many distributed wind companies now offer long-term leases and “no money down” options, which cut customers’ upfront costs.
