United Wind, a provider of distributed-scale wind energy through its WindLease platform, has announced the US Department of Energy (DOE) has highlighted its wind energy financing programs within the organisation’s 2012 Market Report on Wind Technologies in Distributed Applications report.
The report hails the company’s financing model for reducing upfront costs while underscoring the value of supporting the development of distributed wind projects in the rural and farm markets. Recently, United Wind secured the first institutional capital investment for a programmatic leasing platform for distributed-scale wind with a tax equity commitment from GSG Energy Finance, an energy equipment leasing company. This will enable the company to deploy up to US$ 25 million towards wind energy projects in the USA.
