Benefits of Investing

WindShare will begin accepting memberships and investment to support the Lakewind Power Project pending the receipt of a FIT (Feed in Tariff) Contract from the OPA under the new Green Energy Act. If awarded a FIT contract we hope to be looking for investors this summer (2010).

Benefits of investing in WindShare represent the three pillars of a ‘triple bottom line’ approach: robust economic returns generated by socially responsible projects that address environmental challenges.

WindShare membership and investment provides capital for the Lakewind Power Project and entitles members to co-operative ownership of the Ex Place turbine.
