Wind Energy Corp develops and manufactures wind power systems and solutions that can be used to power retail, industrial, government and community wind applications. Their system is unique because it can power a facility at the point of use and does not require tie-in to a grid system.

 

The innovative engineering of the turbines and their unique sail-like design provide many advantages over other wind energy systems:

  • The robust, scalable system can both be easily integrated into customers' existing operations and built into new buildings
  • Their vertical-axis, helix-like design means there is no anticipated danger for bats and birds
  • Their micro-wind design, for both high- and low-wind environments, will enable applications and sites never before considered - including urban environments
  • The fact that they are "distributive" - that they don't require tie-in to a national or regional power grid through traditional transmission lines and rather send their power directly to the point of use - allows companies to diversify their energy portfolio and have control over their energy supply

Due to the influx of media attention to renewable energy, including those campaigns recently started by T. Boone Pickens and Al Gore, interest in renewable energy is at an all-time high. Wind Energy Corp is a great company for people looking to learn about wind power and alternative renewable energy technology.
