Small-scale wind to aid Puerto Rico

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18, 2017 - The Distributed Wind Energy Association (DWEA) plans to send microgrids and small-scale wind turbines to Puerto Rico. American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) says much of the commonwealth remains in the dark since last month’s hurricane. “We are going to do everything we can as an industry to bring power to the people in Puerto Rico,” said Russell Tencer, CEO of United Wind and DWEA board president. Many of the island’s large-scale turbines survived the storm unscathed, and can begin generating electricity again once the grid has been repaired.
