Tokyo Rooftop Wind Turbine Project
               5.5 kW x 5 units = 27.5 KW
 The world’s first project to install a wind turbine at 490’ from ground level. The
design strength (200 miles/hr wind) and quietness were decisive factors in
choosing this Taisei turbine.

The Small Wind Certification
                        Council (SWCC) is an
                        independent certification body
                        and certifies that small wind
                        turbines meet or exceed the
                        requirements of the AWEA

                 Performance and Safety
                 Standard.
                        This certification provides a
                        common North American
                        standard for reporting turbine
energy and sound performance, and helps small wind
technology gain mainstream acceptance.

Rural Development

Washington, D.C., May 4, 2010 – Agriculture Secretary
 Tom Vilsack today announced that USDA is seeking
 applications to increase the production and use of
 renewable energy sources. Funding is available from
 four USDA Rural Development renewable energy
 programs authorized by the Food, Conservation, and
 Energy Act of 2008 (Farm Bill).
Wind for Schools Project
Wind Powering America and the National Renewable
Energy Laboratory (NREL) launched the Wind for
Schools project in 2005 by conducting a pilot project in
Colorado that resulted in one small wind turbine installed
in Walsenburg, wind energy curriculum development,
and a great deal of enthusiasm for the Wind for Schools
project's potential. Wind for Schools projects are
currently supported in six Great Plains states (CO, ID,
KS, MT, NE, SD).
Rural Energy for America Program
• The 2008 Farm Bill, enacted by Congress in May 2008
• The program allows farmers to apply for grants and
  loans to fund renewable energy projects including
  wind projects.
• Congress allocated the following funding for the new
  program.
                $55 million for fiscal year 2009
                $99 million for fiscal year 2010
                $70 million for fiscal year 2011
                $70 million for fiscal year 2012
REAP Program

  2012 Rural Energy for America Program (REAP)
                Solicitation issued

Provides grants to install renewable energy systems and make
              energy efficiency improvements.
