Small Wind
Energy Trust's small wind program provides resources and cash incentives to help customers of Portland General Electric and Pacific Power install turbines up to 50 kilowatts.
Small wind turbines are a good renewable energy option for rural home owners, farmers, ranchers, municipalities, and other property owners who are located in windy areas and want to generate power from the wind. With Energy Trust incentives, plus state tax credits, you can offset as much as 50% of the cost of a turbine and generate your own clean, renewable power.
Energy Trust offers cash incentives on small wind systems:
Homeowners: Incentives up to $35,000
Businesses: Incentives up to $60,000
Energy Trust provides technical assistance and financial incentives but does not develop, sell or install energy systems or equipment. This work is done by independent businesses that are solely responsible for the quality and performance of their installations.
What is the next step?

It outlines how to assess wind quality at your site, who is eligible for Energy Trust incentives and how an Energy Trust Small Wind Trade Ally can help you put the wind to work.
