North Idaho | Our cost per kWh is just over 8 cents first 1600 then 6.5 cents. Our CO-OP allows net metering which credits you for power produced up to your annual usage at retail price. With the tax credits and current federal incentives it might payoff in ten years or so. The question I have to answer first is what our wind resource is on the farm. I am going to put up a weather station(ann-no-nom-e-ter) and start keeping track. Most stuff I read indicates you need annual ave. wind of 10 mph (4.5mps I think) to make it work. Wind maps for my area says 3.2 to 5.2 mps so I may or may not be in the game. Proven (that's the brand name) Wind Turbines start generating at 5 mph. I thought the whole thing is worth a "LookSee".
