Greenway Renewable Energy

There has never been a better time to be certain that your transition to sustainable energy will be a smooth one. Greenway Renewable Energy is a part of the nation’s first distributed wind energy network. Distributed wind energy is energy that is generated locally and used locally. It doesn't even come from down the street; it comes from your yard, your office, and your farm. It doesn't get sold anywhere or shipped off to any destinations in other states. It is where national security meets up with energy security. There are already over 30,000 small wind turbine installations in the United States, including low-wind geographies.

Wind Motives.
We'll Tell You Why

•   A reduction in energy costs

•   State energy security

•   Return on investment that can go back into your homes and businesses

•   Creates local 'green' jobs in engineering, construction and maintenance

•   Supports a locally-based economy, which offers security and stability

•   Predictable energy costs

•   Fosters energy independence

•   Clean, renewable, sustainable

•   Educational opportunities for our children, the leaders of the future

• Wind Turbine Selection

  1. Determine Your Motive
  Wind customers have a variety of reasons to use wind power.  Some want to gain a competitive edge in the green economy or be leaders for future generations. Others simply want the right to bear their own power.  Review your electricity bill to determine how many kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity you are consuming annually.  This will be the foundation for our Wind Specialists to determine the wind turbine that fits your electrical usage.

  
  2. Contact Greenway Renewable Energy
  Our highly-trained Wind Specialists will ensure your journey to renewable energy is a smooth one.  Have your utility statements ready to go before hand and strongly consider your long-term objectives.

  
  3. Turbine Selection
  Our Wind Specialist will help you select an Endurance wind turbine and tower configuration that fits your proposed wind turbine site and your specific electricity requirements. 

  
  4. Your Wind Resource
  We will help you to determine what the average annual wind speed is at your proposed turbine site, and use this information to give you an annual energy production estimate for the site and the turbine.  We’ll also review the projected energy production, over-all project costs, applicable incentive programs, current cost and consumption of electricity, and expected rate of electricity rate increase.  With this information, our Wind Specialist will put together a financial model and ROI for your proposed wind turbine purchase.

  
  5. Site Evaluation
  The site evaluation is the most-important step in distributed wind.  As the end-user, your machine will be producing power for over 30 years.  A properly sited project is critical. There are hundreds of considerations our team will make to determine feasibility.  We will review your proposed turbine site to gather the following information:  

  • Site proximity to electrical service - within 500 ft recommended

  • Site suitability for tower installation - is there sufficient space to install and erect an wind turbine?

  • Site suitability for steady wind flow - is the site free of obstructions that would interrupt wind flow and reduce the productivity of the wind turbine?

  6. Utility and Local Agreements
  Your Greenway Renewable Wind Specialist will work with you to fill out the necessary paper work required to secure the following:  

  • Any local permits and variances required by your local municipality for the installation and operation of your wind turbine

  • Inter-Connection application and net metering agreements with the power utility or cooperative serving your area

  • Federal, state and utility incentives - a combination of loans, grants, rebates, tax credits and production based programs that can significantly improve the economics of your wind turbine purchase and operation

• Examining Your Wind Resource & Proposed Site

  Your Wind Resource

• Your Turbine’s Return of Investment

  Your Wind Specialist will use the information provided from your utility statements and site evaluation study to give you an annual energy production estimate for your site and your Endurance Wind Turbine.

  Reviewing the projected energy production, overall project costs, applicable incentive programs, current cost, and consumption of electricity and expected rate of electricity rate increase, your Wind Specialist will put together a financial model and ROI for your proposed Endurance wind turbine purchase.

• Installation

  The following installation activities will be scheduled and supervised by your Greenway Renewable Wind Specialist:

  • Preparation and pouring of tower foundations

  • Installation of your Endurance wind turbine control panel

  • Trenching and electrical connection to the grid through your property electrical service

  • Assembly of tower

  • Installation of your Endurance wind turbine on your tower

  • Erection of the wind turbine and tower

  • Initial power up and operation of your Endurance wind turbine

• Taking Care of Your Wind Turbine

  Like any machine, wind turbines have to be taken care of for long-term operation. Your Wind Specialist will arrange your ongoing maintenance schedule to ensure that your Endurance wind turbine remains eligible for warranty coverage and operates reliably well into the future.
