City of St. Charles Wind Mapping

 

CERTs-Southeast: Clean Energy Resource Teams of SE Minnesota

 

Wind Mapping, Wind Resource Mapping for the City of St. Charles: The City of St. Charles is in the planning stages of building 1-3 large wind turbines in the area. The first step is to find the best locations for the turbines. This project will fund a Wind Logics study to scout the hills and plains for prime locations. Through Minnesota Municipal Power Agency (MMPA) a Clean Renewable Energy Bond (CREBs) grant would be utilized for the project. The City of St. Charles is also considering the option of a fourth citizen-owned turbine that could possibly be achieved with the help of the Southwest Initiative Foundation (SWIF). ($5,000)
