5th Annual Small Wind Conference a Huge Success!

by Mick Sagrillo

Once again, the Small Wind Conference has lived up to its reputation as the premier small wind event in the United States, with over 320 people attending from all across the US, as well as Mexico, Canada, the UK, India, Hungary, Japan, Australia, Spain, and China.  

The conference, hosted by the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA),began with a keynote address by Trudy Forsyth, the small wind coordinator for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).  Following Trudy’s excellent analysis of the current state of small wind in the US, 16 manufacturers gave updates on the status of their companies and products.  Of note, Bergey Windpower nnounced their new 10 year warranty on their turbines, which will certainly move other manufacturers to follow.
