Boreas assumes the liabilities of decommissioning wind turbines from utility companies, allowing the liabilities to be removed from the utility's balance sheets. Boreas can decommission an average wind turbine for $60,000, generating $55,000 from recycled materials, resulting in a $5,000 cost. Boreas charges utilities $100,000 per turbine to assume the liability and provide a $60,000 letter of credit for removal work.
