Benefits for Utilities

First Wind energy provides several important benefits to utilities, including:

Well-sited, well-run wind farms for optimal availability 
First Wind builds and operates wind farms in areas characterized by high electricity prices, constrained generation capacity, mandated demand for renewable generation under state-sponsored RPS programs and favorable wind characteristics. Our wind turbines are serviced on a regular basis to ensure optimal performance and minimum downtime.

An economically viable approach
Having brought wind energy to areas as different as Hawaii and upstate New York, we know what it takes to develop wind farms that are financially and operationally stable.

High-quality operation through a proven business model 
First Wind has a develop-to-own business model. We develop, own and operate our wind farms. Therefore, it is incumbent upon us to ensure the highest quality operational standards at all levels and over a long period of time.

Competitive pricing
We are committed to providing utility companies with highly competitive pricing.

Proven, state-of-the-art turbine technology
Our wind farms are developed with turbine technology from leading suppliers.

Experienced leadership
The management team of First Wind brings over 140 years of collective industry experience to every project. Including former principals from Italian Vento Power Corporation (IVPC) – one of the world’s leading wind energy companies – the team has built and operated over 650 MW of wind power since 1995.
