Mass Megawatts Wind Power, Inc. reports that construction has completed on its first wind energy system delivered for use at an agricultural or home-based location that is not connected to the utility power grid. The wind power system is located near Aspen, Colorado.

The wind power system, in conjunction with a small solar power photovoltaic system, is producing enough electricity to power a home. The surplus electricity is stored in batteries, providing power during times of low-wind and sun exposure. Richard Barcia, Chief Operating Officer, oversaw the completion of the project and confirmed the transfer of electricity to the battery storage unit.

The wind power system leverages the patented, wind augmenter technology that increases the wind velocity directed toward the wind turbines. This, in turn, can result in a significant increase in power output. For example, an increase in wind velocity from 10 to 20 miles-per-hour can increase the power output of the wind system by a factor of eight. Although augmentation does not have as great of an impact, the wind power output increase is substantial.

As many remote locations do not have access to traditional utility-power, the wind power system offered by Mass Megawatts provides a cost-effective solution for onsite power generation. The company is currently in negotiations with agricultural, mining, and resort locations that are seeking an efficient, low-cost, power source.

Features:
A 'Smart Grid' Energy Solution: MAT technology fits perfectly into the localized 'distributed energy models' that have been adopted by Federal and State agencies to promote energy independence and the re-design of our power transmission and distribution network into a national 'Smart Grid'.

Energy planners nationwide have been seeking an adaptable, scalable 'wind power solution' that will be welcomed by local communities. Mass Megawatts MAT technology meets this challenge on every level. Adaptable to both high and lower wind resource regions and economically scalable to meet electric supply requirements from small users to large utilities, the MAT technology is the first wind power technology that allows purchasers to size their electric generation facility to fit their usage needs.

Traditionally, wind power adopters have found themselves in the position of having to purchase systems that either provided more generation capacity then they needed, or, conversely, walk away 'shorthanded.' The MAT's modular technology basis puts the 'sizing' decision making on the customer's side of the table, not the vendor's. Uncounted numbers of municipal, agricultural and business wind power projects have been abandoned on the basis of the purchaser's not being able to acquire equipment that could be sized to their needs and budget.

Low Height = Community Acceptability: Mass Megawatts is recognized as the vendor of choice for utilities, communities, businesses and other wind power generation adopters who are seeking a lower cost, community friendly, renewable energy solution. MAT technology is readily accepted by local communities, where resistance to 'tall tower' wind farms is legendary. Ranging between 50 feet to a maximum of 80 feet in overall height, MAT units boast extremely productive generation capability in areas with lower wind speeds, where 'tall tower' utility-scaled projects simply are not financially feasible or successful.

Durability & Low Cost Maintenance: This winning equation is further enhanced by the overall ruggedness and low maintenance requirements of the MAT units. Our equipment is rated to withstand winds of up to 120 mph, with all mechanical and electrical components located close to ground level. Projected maintenance costs are 50% less than the wind power industry's average.

Unlimited Potential: The geographic footprint of lower wind speed regions both suitable and profitable for MAT technology is several times greater than that of 'tall tower wind,' with its requirement for extremely high wind resources.
