Publisher's Synopsis
This book examines renewable energy technologies with a focus on community wind projects. The "community wind" sector in the United States has historically served as a "test bed" or "proving grounds" not only for up-and-coming wind turbine manufacturers trying to break into the broader U.S. wind market, but also for wind project financing structures. Most recently, a handful of community wind projects built over the past year have been financed via new and creative structures that push the envelope of wind project finance in the U.S., moving beyond the now standard partnership flip structures involving strategic tax equity investors.
