Wind
Wind energy is fueled by an infinitely renewable resource - moving air. It can be generated locally and does not release any carbon dioxide or other emissions. It also contributes to our energy security and creates economic development.
-
An ambitious wind energy agenda, on land and offshore, is vital to meeting the Commonwealth's goals for a clean environment and a robust economy.
-
From potential energy generated, to the amount of carbon dioxide offset, to health concerns, this Q&A addresses important questions about wind energy.
-
This state incentive program offers grants and technical support to develop wind projects that meet specified qualifications.
-
Choosing the right location for wind projects is a key factor to their success. Learn about potential sites through tools and resources, including the Massachusetts Geographic Information System Wind Viewer and findings from a study on wind energy potential on state-owned lands.
-
This legislative bill (2009) aims to facilitate wind energy siting and foster growth as a clean energy economy.
-
Administered by the University of Massachusetts Amherst Wind Energy Center (WEC), this group is open to anyone who supports its mission, which aims to promote smart and successful wind energy development in Massachusetts, in addition to other goals.
-
