How long is the tower left standing?
At least 6 months though 12 months is most common and we reserve the right to keep the tower up for 24 months if necessary. This is all dependent on the wind resource and if and how an eventual project will be developed. Our goal is to assess the wind for 12 months, verify the resource and then bring in a developer who will likely install their own met tower for further testing. Wind energy development typically needs at least 2 years of data and the Renewable Energy Center takes care of the first year.
