Waukesha, WI – FESCO Direct LLC Renewable Energy Division has announced the Enertech E 13 small wind turbine is an ideal match for the typical Wisconsin dairy farm. The Enertech E 13 Wind Turbine System was selected by the company to be the focus of a planned upcoming marketing campaign geared to educate Wisconsin dairy farmers on the many benefits of wind energy system instillation.
The E 13 was selected in part to its proven design history and modern innovations. The E 13 is actually a slightly modified version of the popular Enertech E44 Wind Turbine. The Enertech E 44’s performance and reliability has been extensively studied and documented over 25+ years in high profile instillations such as the USDA Texas office. The E 13 has retained the proven design of the E-44 system, changing most noticeably the blade design to create almost silent high efficiency operation.
FESCO Direct also cited the financial advantages of the E 13 as a major reason for selecting this unit as the focus for the company’s marketing campaign. The E 13 is among the most reasonably priced units available on the market. This affordable price combined with the public and private funds available in addition to tax incentives make the E-13 a small wind turbine unit that makes financial sense for Wisconsin dairy farms to install.
After comparing the output specifications to common Wisconsin wind patterns, the E-13 was found to have the ability to offset virtually all of a farms electrical usage, and in some cases actually produce surplus energy that is sold back to the power grid for a profit. This power generation comes with a price tag that when completely totaled can offer immediate returns in the form of an overall lower payment than what was being paid to the local utility, and in many cases substantially lower.
The E 13 has significant long term impacts on energy costs and usage for farms also. While most every analyst expects the cost of power to increase and rise, the payments made on a wind turbine are typically fixed, stabilizing your power costs. In most cases dairy farms who install the E13 will see the breakeven point of the system in 5-10 years, at which time the system is paid for, and the electricity produced is free for the remaining life of the system estimated at 15-20 additional years.
