Distributed Wind Energy

Total Energy Solutions

Acterra provides consulting and construction services to the distributed generation market for renewable energy.  With recent increases in energy costs and energy demand system planners are looking to distributed generation as a way to quench the energy thirst of 21st century society with smaller dispersed power plants that can supply energy directly to load centers without the construction of new multi-million dollar transmission lines.  Distributed generation reduces the amount of energy lost in transmitting electricity because the electricity is generated very near where it is used, perhaps even in the same building. This also reduces the size and number of power lines that must be constructed.  We do not claim to be able to handle every type of project type and size out in the marketplace. Our focus is in the distributed renewable generation market.  These projects are usually smaller to mid-size construction and generation projects under 20 MWs.

By utilizing wind energy, solar energy, biomass or other forms of renewable energy, industries, municipalities, schools, universities, and other large energy users can take control of the ever increasing costs of energy.  Distributed generation projects have several advantages over traditional energy sources:

• distributed generation, in many cases, has a lower cost to integrate into the existing grid than large utility scale projects

• distributed generation, in many cases, can supply energy much closer to electrical loads than conventional power plants significantly reducing electrical losses as well as lessening constraints on congested power lines,

• distributed renewable generation is a way for organizations to control energy generation costs, allowing the control of energy costs.

If your organization is looking at renewable energy, Acterra can assist you in developing and constructing such a facility.  Our team can help whether you would like to own the facility within a design/build model or simply like to contract with someone to buy the energy from such a facility with a build/own/operate model. 

Whether it is a single wind turbine generator for industrial or school use, multiple generators at a wind farm, a landfill gas collection system, wood gasification to power project, or any other type of renewable energy, Acterra can assist in the development and construction.  Who Benefits?
