- NWTC and its partners have helped advanced wind power technology by reducing the cost and increasing the quality of both small-scale and utility-scale wind turbines. Since the 1980's the cost of utility wind power has decreased from 80 cents (current dollars) per kWh to 4 and 6 cents per kWh. New blade designs and materials, better testing of components, and greatly improved computer modeling helped to make wind power the fastest growing source of new energy in the 1990s.

- �Net-metering� is a simplified method of metering the energy consumed and
produced at a home or business that has its own renewable energy generator,
such as a small wind turbine. Under net metering excess electricity produced by
the wind turbine will spin the existing home or business electricity meter
backwards, effectively banking the electricity until it is needed by the customer.

- There are two ways you can power your home or business with wind: You may be able to purchase wind energy in the form of green power from your local utility, or you may be able to install a small grid-connected wind electric system to provide part of your electricity needs. A wind turbine rated from 5 to 15 kilowatts (kW) could lower your utility bill by 50% to 90%.
