Small 20kw Wind Turbine
Lorain City Council unanimously passes proposed amendment to Codified Ordinance Chapter 1173, Section 1173.04 & 1173.06 to allow for small wind turbines as a conditionally permissible use.
With the conditional use permit local company's can apply for State of Ohio, Renewable Energy grants which can fund 50% or up to $150,000 of the project.
When the grant is acquired the turbine would be ordered. The concrete pad and wiring installation can typical be completed in a day.
The retail power offset via a system called net metering is consumer wind behind the meter. Net metering applications would essentially wipe out a portion the electricity bill.
The scheduled date for completion of Lorain's first wind turbine will be in 2009.
