Acterra Group, Inc. of Marion, Iowa, an energy development firm, was contracted by the State of Iowa Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) to perform a wind energy feasibility study. Acterra investigated the technical and economic viability of installing distributed wind energy at UNI's campus in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The report also evaluated the site, wind resources, permitting issues, visual and community impact and the project economics. The initial study has been completed and is currently under review by UNI for future development. The project is expected to be constructed in 2010.
Tad Cooper, Executive Vice President of Acterra, commented, "There has never been a better time for large organizations, like the University of Northern Iowa, to use renewable and sustainable generation to fit the needs of their energy portfolios in a distributed model. With all of the economic benefits plus the huge environmental benefits it really makes sense to look into renewable power”.
