Negotiating power purchase agreements

In some states, where the electricity market has been deregulated, it is possible for the owner of a wind project to sell electricity directly to customers. However, wind developers usually sell their electricity to electric utilities, which sell the electricity to customers. T his is usually done by negotiating a power purchase agreement, which is a contract requiring a utility to buy the electricity from a wind farm at a certain price over a certain period of time. In some cases, an alternative arrangement is reached, in which the developer owns a share of the project long enough to mak

After this point, the ownership in the project “flips,” and the utility ends up owning the project.

Sailboats and sailing ships have been using wind power for thousands of years, and architects have used wind-driven natural ventilation in buildings since similarly ancient times. The use of wind to provide mechanical power came somewhat later in antiquity. The windwheel of the Greek engineer Heron of Alexandria in the 1st century AD is the earliest known instance of using a wind-driven wheel to power a machine.[15][16].
