LOCAL, CLEAN ENERGY

Wind energy is one of the cleanest forms of power available. Cascade Community Wind Company (CCWC) is putting this technology into your hands. Get a hold of your power! It’s simple. Wind energy is less expensive. CCWC puts you in direct connection with your source of clean, smart, responsible energy.

SOLID GREEN

Knowing that our power comes from dams, coal plants, oil and other unsustainable methods makes us feel that we’re part of the problem, rather than part of the solution. Paying premium rates for “Green Tags” from power companies is a good start, but doesn’t necessarily generate new clean energy. In fact, it is likely your premium payments are mostly going to utility overhead with a small percentage going to a renewable project that would have been built anyway.

Subscribing to Community Supported Wind is direct. It’s real. Your subscription creates local economic stimulus, reduces global warming and pollution, supports the farming families who host your turbine, and increases national security by reducing dependence upon unsustainable energy resources, all while putting savings in your pocket.

MORE EXPENSIVE? HOW ABOUT LESS.

While we often expect to pay more for environmentally and socially sustainable products and services, Community Supported Wind actually pays for itself, and then some! While the subscription fee ranges from $2000 to $25,000, projects such as the 3 Bar G Turbine in Kittitas County, WA, with an $8000 subscription, is projected to save the subscriber $16,000 on their power bills over 20 years. For those that can’t afford the subscription fee, CCWC has teamed with ZimpleMoney.com to connect people in our communities with person to person loans. See our website for details.

COMMUNITY BENEFITS

The rest of the community benefits when you subscribe to a community wind turbine. Estimates using the Washington State Wind Energy Guidebook show that one of our 1MW turbines will contribute $900,000 to the local economy, 8 jobs, and $80,000 in taxes every year. Add this to the sense of community pride that comes from meeting our own energy needs and everyone wins.
