Wind Turbine Company

WTC was founded in 1989 to design, manufacture, and sell wind turbines capable of producing competitively priced electricity without the need for subsidization. Our focus is on designing and manufacturing wind turbines. Our targeted customers are windfarm developers and others who wish to generate lower cost wind energy.

We have spent the past 15 years improving our understanding of downwind turbines. Our engineering team has created proprietary computer codes to design turbine components and analyze system performance. We have invested $15 million developing our state-of-the-art wind turbines. To the best of our knowledge, we are the leaders by far in downwind turbine technology, a competitive edge we intend to increase.

Our patented design allows us to safely reduce the amount of material used in our turbines by 40-to-50% compared with similarly rated upwind turbines. We enjoy even greater material reduction advantages compared with larger machines on the market. This advantage will enable us to profitably sell our turbines for less than the manufacturing cost of today's leading wind turbines.

A lower priced wind turbine is only part of our advantage. Our 750 kW turbine will feature a 60-meter rotor--very large for its' rated capacity, but ideal for low wind speed regimes--reaching rated capacity in 11.5-meter/second winds. When mounted on our cost effective guy-cable supported tower, a configuration upwind machines cannot use, the rotor can be economically elevated higher above ground to take advantage of higher winds aloft to produce more electricity.

Lower turbine prices together with higher productivity and low operating costs will enable our turbines to produce electricity for 30% or more below today's most economic wind turbines, when installed on sites with wind shear and when standard financing charges are applied. When in full production, we are confident our turbine will be capable of producing power for an unsubsidized price of 3.0¢/kWh or less. At this price wind energy will be the lowest cost source of new electricity generation.

WTC will provide standard wind industry product warranties that will initially be backed by funded escrow accounts.

With patented technology and experienced Management Team, WTC is poised to enter the rapidly growing wind energy industry. As our reputation for turbine reliability grows, and we demonstrate that our turbines can compete in the absence of subsidies, we plan to become the industry leader and accelerate industry growth.
