Steps for Development of a project:
A wind developer or wind energy consultant specializing in wind projects in your area can assist you in determining if a project is possible in your area. In addition, seek professional assistance from an accountant or attorney. Verification of the wind capacity at your targeted location will also determine the economic viability of the proposed wind energy project.
