About Northern Power Systems
Northern Power Systems has been delivering innovative wind energy solutions in a changing landscape for over 34 years. Our partnerships with the Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have helped lay the foundation for Northern’s advanced wind turbine technology. From Alaska to Malaysia, our installed base of turbines has logged millions of kilowatt-hours of production to date, demonstrating our commitment to performance and reliability. Our advanced Permanent Magnet Direct Drive technology is opening a new market for wind power beyond the traditional large wind farm applications that have predominated the recent wave of development. Today businesses, municipalities, schools and universities, commercial farms, and other mid-sized power users can harness the power of wind for their own facilities – without having to become experts in power generation. Our flagship product, the Northwind 100, is designed to be low maintenance and community friendly – making it perfectly suited to bring power that is clean and renewable and lower in cost to mainstream applications across the country. Northern Power Systems is also developing a utility-scale 2.2 megawatt wind turbine that is projected to be ready for market in late 2010. The company employs over 100 people and its manufacturing, engineering, sales and marketing offices reside in Barre, Vermont. |
