Wind Site Assessment Costs and Deliverables

Deliverables – A comprehensive Wind Site Assessment report (see sample) with high points that identify:

  • up to 3 proposed wind turbine locations within a 1000 foot diameter common circle
  • estimated annual average wind speed(s) at recommended hub heights
  • estimated annual turbine outputs for up to 5 wind turbines as calculated by the most current “7th Generation Wind Calculator_Small-Turbines_WI”
  • approximated: Focus On Energy grants (WI only), utility grants/rebates (if applicable), and federal tax rebates (if applicable)
  • site pictures and visual graphics to illustrate the rationale for grading the quality of a small wind renewable energy system
  • Note – Wind Site Assessments provide for no equipment or installation of renewable energy systems. Site assessments provide no guarantee of wind turbine kilowatt hour production.

Costs – The base cost of a single site assessment is $500 US dollars. Mileage charges at a rate of $.50 / mile apply to assessments beyond 100 miles as determined by Mapquest (www.mapquest.com) from a starting address of 516 232nd Ave Somerset, WI 54025. Assessments with mileage distances greater than 250 miles (as determined by Mapquest starting from 516 232nd Ave Somerset, WI 54025), in the states of WI, MN, or IA, incur an additional $75 overnight charge.

 

Note – the cost parameters mentioned above only apply to the states of WI, MN, and IA. Assessments outside of WI, MN, or IA are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
