Windfrastructure
To help large power users reduce their carbon footprint, National Wind has created the patent-pending Windfrastructure Partner Program, a unique and affordable procurement mechanism that provides power users with renewable energy and lasting value.
By becoming a Windfrastructure Partner, your organization will:
- Minimize your carbon footprint.Move closer toward carbon neutrality by purchasing clean wind power.
- Reduce price volatility.Purchasing wind energy can reduce your organization's susceptibility to volatile fossil fuel prices.
- Enable the construction of a new wind farm.Purchasing wind energy through Windfrastructure enables a new community wind farm to be built and allows your organization to trace its electricity to a specific location that you can brand.
- Receive an economic return on the premium paid for renewable energy.Only Windfrastructure gives you the ability to procure renewable energy in a way that is financially neutral.
Regulated and Deregulated Electricity Markets
Windfrastructure has been created to work in both regulated or deregulated electricity markets. Most states distribute power through a regulated market in which one entity, the electric utility, is assigned the responsibility of securing generation, transmission, and distribution of electric power. In this environment, the utility is granted a natural monopoly over a specified geographic region. Several states, mostly along the East Coast, have opted to deregulate their electricity markets. This deconstructs the natural monopoly of the utility and allows consumers to purchase electricity from competitive electricity service providers.
