Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News!. Achieving a clean energy future is going to take energy of all kinds, and every little bit helps. Enter distributed energy resources (DERs), which generate, store, and manage power locally for energy users. Wind energy technology applied as a DER—known as distributed wind—is ideal for a wide range of customers. Installations can range from a less-than-1-kilowatt (kW) off-grid wind turbine powering telecommunications equipment to a 15-kW wind turbine at a home or small business to a 2.5-megawatt (MW) wind turbine at a university campus or industrial facility. If your location has the wind resources, then distributed wind energy might be your ticket to cleaner, lower-cost, and locally generated electricity.
